Just to give a lift to today, two railway signals I ordered yesterday arrived today - new and cheaper than on eBay!

I hope the exhibition is a huge success after all the planning and hard work that has gone into it. I wish we could be there but it's a long haul (about nine hours including stops) and unfortunately it's the wrong end of our half term.

Looking forward to seeing the photos, so don't forget to take some  ;)

We had a frantic day yesterday.  I was in the the hall from 9am to just after midnight.

Damo and his family arrived before lunch just a little ahead of Gordon.  Elaine arrive mid-afternoon.  All their cars were full of boxes.

The tables and base boards were all set out - 4ft by 16ft for Pirates and for Knights. 12 ft by 8ft for the Western, 8 by 4 for Circus and 20ft by 8 ft for City Life.  The boards all looked huge at first but once the Playmobil started to pile up I thought we were going to need a bigger hall.

It was a long day for everyone and we still have a lot of work to do this morning.  (Its 7.25am now.)

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Phew! What a day.  I was there at 8am after around 5 hours sleep.  There seemed to be still so much to do.  I had my daughter to help.  (I remembered to take my camera today but did not have time to take any photos until nearly lunchtime.)  We set Gary's baseboard up ready for his display.  Just as well as he managed to get here for 8.30am.  Gary's Viking display had had a lot of preparation - he had prepared a section of shore for a corner of the sea-coloured base.  It looked great.

Walter and his wife Marion arrived at around 8.45am and were well drilled at setting up their Christmas train scene.

Meanwhile I had a pirate ship to rig and any number of other jobs to do.  There was a lot of clearing of boxes before we got to 11am and opening time.  We had a family arrive at 10.55 but we were still getting ready.  (It is amazing how many little jobs there are involved in getting everything ready.)

And we were off. We had a steady influx of visitors throughout the day.  I don't know how many yet as we forgot to set up a tally and I haven't added up the takings.  (Watch this space.)  We'll keep count tomorrow.

The response was great.  I think we surprised people with the scale of what we achieved.   The pictures (to follow shortly) will show what we did.

Another day of the exhibition tomorrow, beginning with the local BBC Radio arriving at 10am.

5 hours of sleep?  I am surprised you could sleep at all.  This is too exciting!  ;D

I agree!  Congratulations and a job well done to all of you.  This has been so exciting reading about the planning and the last minute preparation.  Elaine, I loved your comment about "making sure there was enough food in the house for the family while you were gone, since you were taking the only car and the store is 6 miles away" !!

Events like this make me, someone from the pre-computer/internet era, stop and just sit back and enjoy the friendship benefits of the internet.

Looking forward to seeing the photos.
