Making Memories

An extra special guarding turn today.  A wedding train.  An Irish connection saw lots of yellow and green along the way, a couple with no involvement the railway ... until today.  It had been a complicated start to the morning with the vintage coaches mixed up with others when I arrived.  For model train sets this proves no issue, the 'hand of god' can just pick them up and rearrange them.  In the real world the job takes a bit longer and can involve some head scratching!   As a very part time volunteer, organising a shunt as it is called is well out of my comfort zone however, apart from the time it took all went well.  We were even ready in time.   The clunky bit if the day done, the rest was a positive pleasure and I even came away with some left-over buffet for my lunch on the down trip.

Back home just after three, I fettled a pottery vase I started on Thursday evening and reorganised a few (lot of) pots in the greenhouse before cooking tea.   Jamie had a scary asthma attack in the night - we narrowly avoided my having to take him to A&E in Aberystwyth - managed to get help through the local pharmacy who suggested that 111 docs would be able to organise a scrip for the most effective medication.  For once the system worked to provide a joined up solution that avoided a trip to A&E.  Result!

Off now to walk Meg in the cool of the evening.  No sign of an end to this remarkable, near perfect, summer weather here in the west of the UK.
