More vegetational butchery at the Museum!

A rocks By Rail Museum day for me with, more mowing and hedge trimming! Or, as I like to refer to my work - vegetational butchery! With all the recent hot weather you would think that the grass would not be growing much but no! In addition the mole population of the County appear to have moved into the area leaving trip hazards and creating dust storms as the mower passes over their excavations. Not nice when you get a mouthful blown up at you!

It is only when you take the mower from one end of the grass in the car park to the other and look back that you realise just how far you have to walk. Certainly gives me an apatite for lunch!

We did have quite a few visitors today including some motorcyclists out for the day and happened to drop in. They had some nice and interesting bikes.

Meanwhile in the restoration shed Thomas and Alex have finished the welding on the front of Ketton No1 and it is now in undercoat awaiting its Racing Green top coat!

Somehow we have managed to get a spare bonnet which will save repairing the original and Alex is applying the Racing Green top coat.

Rob in the meantime is applying his welding skills to the pivot points of the front loader on Harriot the JCB. Rob has skills that mean he can almost weld anything to anything including fresh air!

Round the back of the restoration shed Heather and Roger have been busy cutting back the vegetation  - yet more vegetational butchery!

I think I will have a quite day tomorrow and forget about my own vegetational butchery jobs around WMD HQ. They won't run away!
