My Try! What a little beauty!

A few more things to try if you haven't already: Right click on the taskbar and select 'Startup'. All items can normally be disabled except anything relating to antivirus/security. Then look in the Processes tab and check that none of the items on the top line are running near 100%. Memory...

Sorry - had a visitor and another who shall be nameless must have pressed 'Enter' !! Go back to #635

Going back to trains - my dad bought me this loco must be mid to late '50's. It still sits in its original box but the writing on the lid faded into obscurity many years ago although I have managed to bring it back to life using the scanner. The engine ran on a 5-pole motor rather than the usual...

The azaleas and rhododendrons are looking good at the moment - the orange one didn't flower at all last year. The grass is a nightmare though - you can almost see it growing!

My try:

Happy Birthday Viv. Have a great day.

I hope I got all of them!

I couldn't make out whether the post box was free standing or built into the wall so I've erected a new free standing one to be going on with!

Unfortunately not Lyn. I sold it in 1963 (for £100) as I was saving up to get married!
