Time to cut some grass - a lot of grass!

First time for ages that a day at the Rocks By Rail Museum was warm and dry. So warm and dry that I was put in charge of the new lawn mower and set on the task of getting as much grass cut as possible! There is a lot to cut and it had been growing so was not the easiest to cut but I got a fair amount done ready for our Sunday opening. I was even entrusted with the new mower!

A couple of guys passed me whilst cutting the roadside grass out on their tractors for a run out!

Looking back on the sea of cut grass!

In the workshop the completed restored brake van has been moved out and the Shark brake van moved in for some emergency repair works to see it through the 2023 season and then into a full blown restoration over next Winter.

It is hard to believe this was restored some ten years ago - it has a hard life!

In the cafe the floor has been partly painted although the paint is not drying as it should! Could mean an interesting time on Sunday! Maybe it is a cunning plan to keep customers at the counter.
