Just spent a really,really nice couple of days with Dennis (QLD-Kid) and his wife Margaret who have come over to UK from Aussie for 9 weeks or so.
It was really nice to meet up and I hope that Dennis & Margaret had a good time at the Hayle show yesterday and at the Bodmin & Wenford Railway today (despite the downpour).   I trust that they also enjoyed their real Cornish Pasty and will enjoy the rest of their stay over here.
Sorry Dennis that your N gauge "Big Boy" was a little out of gauge on my Port Perran layout (too long/wide for the bridges) where it did look a little incongruous alongside my 14XX !!
Anyway, I gather that they may well meet up with Mick (Newport Nobby) at the Wigan show in a couple of weeks.

Dennis at the Bodmin & Wenford today. Enjoy the rest of your visit and take it easy.

Especially the juicy carrots eh?

I'm looking forward to meeting Denis & Margaret in 2 weeks time, along with the other part of the Antipodean contingent, Bealman (if he's allowed out of his care home, that is)

I made sure that Dennis & Margaret are well aware that under no circumstances should Cornish pasties contain carrots !!

Great to see my mate enjoying himself

of his visit to the UK. The vast amount of UK heritage sites and shows is one of the few things I miss being out here.
