A very happy and prosperous New Year to all at Levisham.
Please keep the blogs going as i really do enjoy catching up with works at my favourite station.
If anyone is travelling up from South Wales to work please let me know as i would be more than willing to share petrol costs-regards Ian Oxley

Peter, well it’s time to reply. Why not a helicopter pad, we had an aeroplane on it last autumn!? It’s not that we have a lot of accidents, we don’t but it was an unusal event anyhow.
Fires have been fortunately few and far between this year and hopefully we are past the worst now, assuming we don’t get a scorcher of a dry summer!?
We all have a great time in Wales visiting many railways and learning some new tips to bring back to the Moors. Mind you its been all go since then with the 60′s event and now Vintage Vehicles this year.
With regards to further sponsorship opportunities there are still the picnic tables, a flag pole and the new lamp on the front of the cottage. We don’t believe that the print idea would work at present Picnic tables are available at £150 including the plaque, the flag pole is a bargain at £80 whereas the cottage light is £350.
Alex is growing well and crawling everywhere, it’s only a matter of time before he starts to walk and talk. I will send a couple of pics separately. He has now been on 40 different steam loco footplates and is completely bomb proof as far as they go with their steam and whistles.
CHeers, SImon, Beth and Alex.

Hello Simon

Its time for a recent pix of Beth and the’ Little Womble ‘ please.

Just luv the blog and its aim of keeping us up to date with whats happening.

Helicopter pad…obviously for emergencies but do you get that many !!!I thought all your volunteers were craftsmen ( they seem to be ) or is it for the Moors. Any problems with Moors fires this year ?

Donations, I know you can always use but what apart from Picnic Tables and Hazel fence are you looking for !! If you need another Picnic Table I could have my own family name put on. How about I buy a Chris Ware print and we raffle it “?

Enjoy your trip to Wales, I cant spell Porthmadog.

My thanks to all at Levisham, Peter

Enjoy
