I did take a moment to have a drink and found the site's Robin looking for food among the grass cuttings.

Whilst the Rocks By Rail Museum has some major projects going on at the moment with the cosmetic restoration of steam loco Uppingham, the rebuild of steam loco 1931 and the rebuild if the Southern brake van Rob has decided another project needs to be added to the list so he is doing up the Euclid dumper truck.

And finally, the clam buckets have been emptied of vegetation and rocks added to illustrate what they were used for and that has made a big difference.

All in all things are moving on!
