It is Father Christmas

Early start ?

This yeas Christmas card is nearly finished. I know I should have done it months ago, but there we are...

I'm working my way around Esslingen am Neckar, and this year is the Schelztor, from the days when Esslingen was an independent city state and major point on the spice and silk trading routes.

The figure in the pole is "art". So there.

Early start ?

Before Christmas gets cancelled

On an entirely unrelated note, Plastic filler smells rather strong.

Is that anywhere near Oak Park? I visited to see the Frank Lloyd Wright buildings (as you do)... very good

No, I'm more like 150 miles out. but only about 95 miles to commuter rail at Manhattan, and regional rail on Amtrak is about a 30 minute bicycle ride. We actually are about mid way between Chicago and St. Louis.

Unfortunately we’ve come across Santa crashed in our tier 4 area. If your kids don’t get their presents, show them this photo.

Looks great. Don’t get to ride in the snow much here. When I can I love it.

Boston and Maine RDC!
That's a bona fide Christmas card shot right there.
At least for a railfan.

I made a Croque Monsieur for breakfast.

Afternoon .
My wife has named the kitten Georgie, but I think he is more of a Billy ! Silly Billy ! He decided that he was going to hide behind our settee this morning and stayed there for 4 hours. I eventually pulled the settee away and managed to catch hold of him and give him a cuddle which he liked. He has had some food and is now investigating our kitchen .
