Village people etc

 

A visitor to Portharthur shares the time of day with a local fisherman.
The local policeman looks at the closed shop with a mix of grave concern and puzzlement.
Another busy train leaves on time for Penedredfel.
An abandoned boat provides interest in an otherwise deserted village early in the morning.
After a busy morning yesterday in the garden time to sit with coffee and the Test.
Currently on the painting table ,some naval gun crews and landing parties. They will be used with my 1790s collection as well as for the navy in the 1745.

Notes: thanks to Colin for the sailors, a welcome gift finally getting round to be used. Thanks too to M of T Mark for painting these lovely figures ( policeman and sailor with kit bag) as a present for me ages ago. Finally got round to varnishing them yesterday. They have taken their rightful place on the PLR finally.
