Saturday 23rd August

Despite the very changeable weather, we had about 50 people visit on Saturday. It was a scheduled open day for the Dovecote and the Ice House in Moseley Park. The Craft Market was also on in the village, which I'm sure helped numbers.

Geoff Jones came by to look at the completed print based on his story. After some consideration, he noted that he never wore gloves whilst stoking an engine and I had got the hat wrong.

He said the engine in the image was a 'standard' which he didn't like stoking as the firebox was quite high compared to other engines.

Naz has been in regular touch since leaving his story about finding the pearl. He has been trying to remember where he last left it.  He had kept the little keep sake for 30 years in a small box. Today he let me know that he had found it and I met up with him to collect it.

Naz has kindly said I can keep it for the time being to show visitors to the exhibition.
