Begonias are a disaster this year---- (Yorkshire please look)

The Begonias may not be doing too well, but I do like your engine and it's carriages. Are they home made? Who's the handyman? Definitely going in my favourites.

Well Silverbelle, my OH is a model engineer and he has been building a live steam train for 27 years now ! When he retired from the DT, dept @ school last summer this was what the lads in the dept.had made him as his leaving pressie, he was bowled over by the suprise and quite emotional, bless.!

Aww a very thoughtful pressie, and very well made.

The train is lovely, I love to see something different in the garden to grow your plants in. That is adorable. I want one LOL !!!!!!

I like the train though. Maybe you'll be able to find something else to plant in it.

Thanks folks, I especially wanted to make it look nice this summer as it is it's inauguration, so yes Hywel I am going to re plant it next week with something bright and cheerful !

Good. It will look great :o)

Thank you Hywel

What a fantastic gift, so much love, thought and skill must have gone into the making of that. No wonder OH was overwhelmed - it's brilliant.

Bless you Gee19, we so enjoyed our work with special needs children and it was a wrench to leave and this was how my hubby was rewarded, So lovely.
