Monday 29th - A Different Hat

 

Derek and friends

But before that the normal Monday cleaning routine.

28ºC! Warm inside the carriages, but I was outside! Despite regular brushing the windows still attract a layer of fine grit over time. So today it was window washing with Fairy Liquid using a sponge pad. That was rake 1 on the shady side in platform 1. Fortunately Jane took pity on me and came to help on the last 3 carriages. About 60 windows in total.

That meant I was too busy to photo the rest of the team, other than doing what we do best - Tea Break! Holidays and Covid reduced us to 12 today - David, Jane, Kath, Nick, Nigel, Paul, Peter, Rich, Roger C, Tim and Val.

Thursday 25th July

Last Thursday was the first of this year's Teddy Bear Thursdays. Here are two of our own bears ready to drive us to Winchcombe. They were very excited!

We work with Phil and Sue P on this but this year we also managed to rope in Greg and Lynn from our Cleaning Team to help. Here they are chatting to Kath at the start.

And the real thing

The clues for the Treasure Hunt (certificate on successful completion) brings you around the back of the Discovery Coach. Oh dear! Winter project?

The bears enjoyed it so much (and so did the adults) that we will repeat on 1st and 8th August. Come and say hello (and bring your Teddy Bears)!
