It's young Brian's birthday and at great cost, his parents have bought him a camera, no less! His birthday treat is a picnic in Shelby Wood and of course he has brought his new camera with him.

We see Brian here, juggling the camera and instruction book has his Dad, Mum, Sister and Brother stand patiently to have their photo taken...….

For his first attempt with his new camera, the photo's did not turn out to bad...……..

Very nicely observed - again. Love the boys shirt out at the back and a sock at half mast. Somehow there is a sense of quiet resignation within the family group whilst little Johnny struggles with the new technology. Nice narrative too. Brilliant. R-
Young at heart. Slightly older in other parts.

Grand Ma ain't 'appy……….

Katie's brother, William, was a little envious of her kite so Grand Pa Joe has been busy in his shed, up grading Katie's Kite and making one for Will.

To brighten them up a bit he decided to add some patterns, not being very good with a paint brush, he decided to 'borrow' some of his good lady's best lace doyles, which he glued in place.

The kids both love their kites but "Grand Ma ain't 'appy"

I just love following your thread. The detail and the stories are both a delight and enthralling. Keep it up.

Old Mrs Brown has lived in her line side cottage for more than 70 years. It has become the norm for the crew of the days first goods train out of Shelby Wood Sidings, to take her a bucket of coal. A blind eye is always turned to this unscheduled stop and a five minute delay is always put on the next train to leave. No one can remember exactly how long this practise as been going on, suffice to say that the same thing was done for Mrs Browns Mother.

Here we see the bucket filled and the crew of Pannier Tank 3716 getting ready for the off while a PY gang are briefed on the work planned for the day.

Now that is very well done - the figures look lifelike not just plumped into position. However I'm a little worried about the expropriation of coal for Mrs Brown - does she have something on the Chairman of the GWR? :o
