Milton Keynes on Saturday afternoon, sunshine all the way, very friendly, lack of signposts around though, even the station is hardly indicated. MK Buses now Arriva, uughh.
With John and Maureen not able to come this weekend we've rescheduled to later in the spring at the POPs rally weekend, talking of which with 3 bidders for the Wedgwood business each has expressed an interest in continuing business at Barlaston site so hopefully the rally should be ok, anyway it was one of the biggest money spinners for them.
A good job we left X'ian off the China trip as trolleybus operation finally stopped last month, it looked pretty gruesome when John Bishop was there a year ago. Also threatened is the Birkenhead tramway which may go to a trust, surprising really that it wasn't a trust already but the Hong Kong trams were new ( ish) and not museum pieces of course.
Busy at work, trying to fetch new computers from Chester and then arrange to get the data transferred.. I did a lot in the garden after my blog on Sunday, got greenhouse cleaned , roses trimmed back and swept up. The bulbs are coming out en masse, I'll post photos when a solid display is possible.
Got the computers, chap coming Thursday morning to swap data over and configure etc. Isn't a pleasant experience the zombies at PC World, bit like B&Q with widgets. Putting in for China visa tomorrow morning in Manchester. Mandy's getting here Canadian itinerary worked out and I leave the same day for a weekend in Malta to catch up on the oldies and open toppers before they get rationalised and bendi buses ex London ( seriously).
Need to get Channel Islands and S WEst sorted next, see Guernsey plugging in all the papers this weekend, I think it will be a stay at hom,e year for many people with the exchange rates so awful.
