Merry Christmas to you all, fill up your life with love, compassion, tolerance, peace, happiness and perhaps hopefully some time for modelling.
As the festive season and New Year break is upon us, I just wanted to say many thanks to all of you whom have taken the time to read my ramblings over the past 12 months. I hope you have found such ramblings interesting and informative. I have also enjoyed corresponding with many of you that have made contact me either directly at shows, email or via the comments field on my various posts. I look forward to corresponding with you again in the New Year. My outings with either Canute Road Quay or Fisherton Sarum planned for 2019 and beyond can be found on my Exhibition Diary page here. I thanks those friends and family whom have assisted me exhibiting / playing with my train sets during 2018.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the various manufacturers, publications and retailers whom have allowed me privileged access to some of their plans and developments and often taken on board feedback, suggestions and advice, with the sole aim of promoting and furthering modelling of the Southern Railway / Southern Region.
Hornby and Bachmann will both be making their new range announcements for 2019 and beyond in early January so watch this space on 7th and 14th January respectively…
Seasons greetings, whatever your faith or beliefs, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!
Same sentiments to you and yours Graham. Have a great Christmas and a healthy 2019.
Kind regards,
Richard

For all the Mickey-taking and put-downs this hobby receives, it seems to me to be a positive therapy to counter all the idiocy and conflict we are subjected to by our rulers, the Press and others. My teenage daughter sat down with me to apply weathering to my rolling stock last week, and we spent an enjoyable hour or two with productive results. Previously she, and the rest of the family, showed no interest at all in Dad’s “crazy hobby”!
I wish you, Graham, and all readers, a very happy Christmas and peaceful and productive New Year. Thanks for your blog, it encourages me.
Happy Xmas to you and may all your dreams come true in 2019
A happy Xmas and New Year to you too.
