Diverse matters on recent days.

 

Some new passengers at Penedredfel station. My middle daughter has been a power in the land working on the garden and has really begun to bring it under control. Yesterday afternoon we worked together to tackle pruning of apple trees and a rather over expansive rose.
Beautiful model in a charity shop, sadly not for sale.
Up and out early due to tides. My daughter finished her sea swim and was out by 09:15. Then off to Dune Bakery…
Lovely craft work on top of a local postbox, it changes with the season.
Some renovations on the Mythical Earth collection in preparation for a game.

Some wonderful Minifigs mounted elves , only have four of them but they are Rodney Matthews inspired treasures.

      Thanks. They are so charming, so glad I recollected these chaps to replace the lost ones of my youth!

    Nice passengers you got on Pededredfel station. Do they have to wait long for a train?
    Great pic of Forth Bridge!

    I'd not seen those elf cavalry before. Most intriguing.

      Wonderful Rodney Matthews based figures. I had his Elric dragon Lord poster up in my teenage bedroom, a wonderful image.

    Those mounted elves are gorgeous, never seen them before, cracking looking figures.

    Lots of goodies in this post Alan! Thankfully that horrid Dr Beeching hasn't taken his axe to Penedredful.
    I admire your daughter's fortitude swimming in northern climes this time of the year.

    Lovely things to see, I particularly fell in love with that ship, a shame it wasn't for sale

      Same here with the ship, such a shame it wasn’t for sale but it probably saved me lots of pennies…

    Those ladies waiting for the train have the same problem my wife has occasionally...as she is only 5'1", sometimes her feet dangle a few inches above the ground when sitting down!

      I’m sure she doesn’t have a wait for a train as long as these poor ladies…
