Monday 25th - Home and Away

 It's that time of year again, "Home" is the Toddington team on rake 1 and "Away" is the Winchcombe team on rake 2. It does make for a somewhat disjointed operation, so all I can offer as a picture is rake 1 at Toddington, in the sunshine.

This was in complete contrast to the weekend, which was very wet. The river Avon flood plains I passed on the way down were certainly doing as intended. As I went over Simon De Montfort bridge both sides were flooded.

The first clean after the proper Santa trains. Maybe there are chocolate buttons in the packs somewhere.....?

The outside team of Paul, Peter, Tim and David washed this Cotswold side. Inside were the rest of us - Jane, John S, Nick, Roger C, Steve, Val and self. The "Away" team was Greg, Lynn, Nigel and Rich. No carriage washing there (sorry, Paul W, have to leave that to your gang!). 

Tim then did an extra duty and fetched the new supplies of carriage cleaner from Winchcombe and delivered them back to Toddington.
