Post Exhibition

It is now just over a week since my model railway club's annual exhibition.  It was a long and tiring day BUT it was well worth it.  The Exhibition was as far as I know the biggest it has put on and possibly the best ever.
My own layout was well received and I had some lovely comments about my new mini layout based on a canal lock in Staffordshire.  The night before the exhibition it poured down which washed the last of the snow away, but it then froze over.  Fortunately by the time the public were allowed in it had more or less thawed.
Yesterday we were driving along a Cotswold Road within a strict speed limit.  We had a car on out tail driven by what looked like a 60 odd year old with his wife .. she was the passenger of course ... As soon as we went into the 50 limit he passed us and was off like a rocket only to have to brake because the speed limit soon went back to 30, not he clearly knew what meant.  Once out of the limit he was off again around a dangerous z bend.  I don't suppose he noticed the wreck of another car that tried to take that bend at speed!!!!

Good to see Parliament is slowly working towards equal rights for gay couples.  Too many anti-gay marriage types go on about that marriage has only ever existed for a couple to produce children.  That means that Mrs M and I should not have been allowed to marry, because by the time we tied the knot both of our internal reproduction pipework had been knotted.  Surely whats important is that marriage is all about a couple wanting to show off their commitment to each other.
