Waddell's Models was a Doddle.

Cycled into the city centre to visit Waddell's Models - a round trip of about 9 miles - an absolute doddle. I purchased a pack of  brass rods and and some plastic rods in order to build the lattice that will support the overhead street lighting on the layout.

The lattice - see blog of a few days ago.

Currently listening to:

Bruckner's 8th Symphony on BBC Radio 3 iPlayer.

Last night's dinner:

Lamb steak with a mushroom risotto - the mushrooms were of the dried variety that one soaks beforehand for 30 minutes in a mixture of milk and warm water. Sprinkled over it was Parmesan and cut
chives.

Currently still continuing to read:
