I've a feeling that "Flying Scotsman" is the wrong colour for the number being carried. Renumbered and repainted(BR black) under BR ownership.

I wouldn't know, to be honest - as I said upthread, I'm no train buff.

I was just looking for some photos of the loco on the Mid Hants railway, as they ran it on there earlier this year (Feb / March) to celebrate the line's re-opening after major works at the Alton end.

If you're looking to place it alongside the "Flying Scotsman" have you got the correct shade of green. Not Apple Green, or BR Green, but Doncaster Green.

Not sure yet - next project has yet to be decided. Not sure if Windsor & Newton do a "Doncaster Green" - but with four yellows, four blues and two greens in my paint box, I should be OK

Morning.
It is grey and wintry looking here this morning . A bit breezy but not cold .
Our garden waste bin has been emptied and brought back in again . I also moved my neighbours bin to where she could put it away .

 

[Kempstonian]

The orange and the green bins go out tonight. I hope they have a nice time.

The old bag went out early this morning.

The scaffolding lorry blocked access to our bins so they haven't been emptied. The chute room is now humming badly.

Did she do the shopping while she was out?

We have been cutting back some of our bushes. Whilst chopping up the branches we came across a strange looking catapiggle. It was about an inch long, fluffy, mainly yellow with white Tufts and a black body and pink tail . Some kind of morf we assume . It was in a plum tree .

A pale tussock moth ! SWMBO just found a picture of one .

Just sat there, in the sun, near the gate.
Only moved two hours ago since going out.

I found my old Garmin Nuvi, it is getting charged now, along with my PocketPC satnav. The PocketPC is so old, it has the separate satellite receiver.

Waiting to go out for a birthday curry.Miss P is 23 today.We have been over to Lancashire to see the in laws.It was our turn to do the cleaning,and so they could celebrate Miss P's birthday this morning.I had a nice time in Preston hospital early hours of Tuesday morning.As i was getting ready for bed,i found i was leaking blood.So with help from 111,i was told to visit A and E.Guess what it had stopped by the time the Doc saw me.And when i told him i was due a scan this Friday,he hummed and said if you were from Preston i would keep you in and do the scan later today.But seeing as you are going home to Leeds Weds and have a scan Friday,i think you are not in any danger.So at 00-45 i was sent home.Superb service good old Nhs.So let us see what Friday finds.
