Fired Up

It was a seriously cold and unpleasant day on the Granite Belt today, as it was also on most of the east coast.  Fortunately the icy wind dropped by about lunchtime allowing some progress at Whistlestop.  To combat the cold I decided to light a small campfire, burning some of the rubbish which would otherwise go to the dump.  What a good idea that was!  Not only was it nice and warm, it really added some 'atmosphere' to the day.  The light smokiness somehow made the day more pleasant- perhaps bringing back memories of other campfires.

So, some good progress again, as well as the general enjoyment of working in the Aussie bush.  Two more boxes arrived for the Trainbarn also, one of which is probably the most awesome model train I've ever had!  More about them tomorrow!
