At age 91 and living alone I don't get out at all, so have to rely on Tesco and Amazon deliveries.

Some Fairport, including the albums 'Liege & Lief' and 'Full House', along with what is possibly the longest titled track ever.....

'Sir B. McKenzie's Daughter's Lament for the 77th Mounted Lancers Retreat from the Straights of Loch Knombe on the Occasion of the Announcement of her Marriage to the Laird of Kinleakie.'

Still unable to make a donation

Same here. The traffic and mayhem at the shops... you'd think they were shut for a week, not a day!!!

Knowing that food shopping this week would be mayhem, I needed some essentials such as milk and bread etc so, following our Monday night Zoom meeting, I duly drove to the supermarket at 22.10 and was back home and in bed by 23.20. There were still a good many shoppers but we were outnumbered by personnel restocking the aisles. Easy peasy.
To the best of my knowledge I am now set for a good 10 days or so as I'm old enough to recall the days when shops closed for at least a week over the festive period.
I just can't imagine some types coping at all as the store is shut just for Christmas Day. What on earth will they do? Red Cross parcels will be urgently required. Sandwich boards stating "The end of the world is nigh" will be seen on the streets. There will be an Armageddon.
I'm happy to avoid the 'Slough of Despondency'

He did, too.

Merry Christmas everyone!

We've just posted our first update about this project on Facebook. We currently have just over half the number of expressions of interest we need to progress to the tooling phase.

Please remember that there is no obligation to buy at this stage. We are simply ascertaining if there is sufficient interest in these coaches to progress to the tooling and prototype stage.

Past NGF contributor, dats475, would exclaim N, N, N at this time instead of HO, HO, HO for the followers of the larger scale .

All seriousness aside, may you all have a beaut Xmas.
