Two ex Swanage engines reunited. It could do with Headcode blinds reinstated, but 47596 looks very good in two-tone green.

It’s only a short distance but I can recommend going from Jude’s ferry to Worlington and back. I keep meaning to try Mildenhall to Jude’s Ferry but that would need to be done in spring or late autumn as it can get overgrown and weedy.

A beautiful ride through gorgeous countryside on a warm sunny day. What a simple pleasure. You must've enjoyed that! Please may we ask you: Do we need to get a licence or permit to go along that Wensum river between Ringland and Taverham? If so, how do we get one? From whom? You see: We live in Aylsham, and about to buy an inflatable double-seater kayak, so we fancy enjoying that pretty route. Thank you. Andrew.

Rule of thumb is that if the river is navigable by ‘pleasure craft’ then you need a licence, you don’t need one if the river is useable by paddle craft only but some sections may be ‘private’ - not sure how you can own a river! I joined British Canoeing, with membership comes a river licence which covers you for most things and keeps the ‘show us your licence’ brigade happy!

Starting out, one of the best paddles you can do is the river Bure, start at Little Hautbois and head up to Buxton Mill. Short but lovely - you may even see one of the steam trains 😊

There is something very wrong across the UK at the moment, it cannot be ignored that traditiional flood plains have been built upon, or that, as river levels drop, water is not receding as planned.

It’s lack of ditch/ drain maintenance as well, just down the road from me it’s been completely flooded across the road for months (about welly high), an ‘expert’ from the council came out and said the drain was blocked - no s#|t Sherlock! Pot holes get mended and a month later they have returned to their natural holey state… The A14 near Stowmarket has been in a state of resurfacing for probably a couple of years, they ‘completed’ one side and started on the other only to have to start repairing the just completed part because it’s cr¥p…. We can’t seem to do anything well in this country these days! If my memory serves me rightly, when the M1 was built, they completed a mile every 8 days and built the bridges in 5, these days we get slowly get nothing done… Sadly I can’t see things changing, land will flood for months at a time, pot holes will continue to wreck cars, traffic will sit in mile long road works with no one about.

@@timsytanker Yes I totally agree, having driven over the most recently repaired part again, it is already delaminating and what does the contractor say 'A solution is being tested, until then it remains a temporary surface,' I absolutely agree with you.

HORNBY TT 1:120 - But NOT 3mm TO THE FOOT SCALE !!!! So Hornby have introduced EUROPEAN TT 1:120 scale. Not BRITISH TT which is slightly larger at 1:100. Presumably to "Kill off" any competition in Britain !!!! Modern Commercial TT, is probably a good idea as the average British home is now to small in reality for OO scale !!!
