  • Lovely kitchen and garden lights Milan. Just showed the garden railway to DH who is most impressed too. Sorry about your Christmas plans and your DGD. Well done for trying to look on the positive side and hopefully all this awfulness will soon be behind us.

    Thank you Es....the garden railway has been a work in progress over the last 15 years. A lot 2nd hand and model buildings bought as presents for dh over the years. I like the gardening side and painting the buildings.

  • It is lovely the kitchen, I bet you are glad it's now done. Loving the lights in the garden as well. They have cheered me up after what has been a very stressful day.

    You have done a great job. As I have said previously we had one but no where near as good as yours. Just the track and a station platform and tunnel under our conservatory and bridge over the pond. DH just did not get the time to keep up the maintenance and our garden is not level so difficult to get any landscaping with buildings done.

    It’s unusual for it to be complete ES as dh likes rearranging it 🙄 think he gets bored when he’s not completing some project or another - we’ve  carried those stones around and around the garden 😂😂😂😂😂

  • Lol sounds like my DH. He is never happy unless he has a project and otherwise he likes taking things to bits and finding things wrong with them.  :D
