Hi All,

It's getting a bit Christmasy here today. Listening to Christmas music lunchtime, and a gang of us who disperse in different directions Christmas day are meeting for a Christmas dinner at a local restaurant this evening, so ......

With all best wishes

As my wife decorates our tree - a real one as always - this is an opportune moment to wish everybody a very merry and happy Christmas. :thumbsup:

Now, where did that little bauble just roll away to as it dropped from the tree as she delicately balanced upon a stool to top the tree with the Angel? :hmmm:

I'll just retrieve it from under the settee before watching her clear up the mess of boxes and cartons and unused tinsel. :)

Christmas cheers everyone! :beers: :beers: :beers:

We went to Enniskillen today and I finished buying Louisas presents, ( :'(). Most of the foodstuff we want, (you know, pickled onions, chocolates and biscuits  :)), have been bought. Basically just a bit of turkey to buy next week - I know you can get potted meat in a jar, but can you get potted turkey?  ???
A very Merry Christmas to one and all.  :beers:

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

Hope you all have a wonderful time. I know I have one SNCF loco coming but think that's it on the railway front.

Was thinking though, that if I get given those horrible thin ridged socks, which I hate and always seem to get, I might see if they could be 'scratchbuilt' into rows of lavender fields. We've got a lovely picture from Provence of them (not the socks) and fancy doing a diorama of it.

Anyway, thanks to all for your great posts and help.

Let's all get drunk and fat!!

Cheers weave  :beers:

As the first day of Christmas comes to a close - there are 12 of them - I hope you all had a good Day One, and have equally good days to come. And thanks to all of you for a your knowledge, willingness to share, and shared enthusiasm for our hobby.

God bless us, every one!

Due to being divorced and my girlfriend's family turning up on different days I have celebrated Christmas 4 times since last Saturday.

Is that a record?

I wish everyone a good rest before the New Year celebrations start.

Joe I put on far  too much weight and it was so cold we didn't walk far while in Canada ,Val and me did walk along part of the side  of Lake Louise and I WALKED  round the skating rink built actually on the lake , but then we decided to go up to our room and warm up we put the tele on and the hotel channel came on with the weather and it was a little bit colder than we thought ,it was minus 35 degrees ,we then walked around the nine shops in the basement of the hotel .

Bravo Bob!

You were probably the only one outside. The locals were enjoying their central heating.
