    It’s OK, cancellations due to fire risk will be replaced by cancellations due to floods …

    Not much risk of cinders falling from that ashpan …

    I like the new word "smuttering" - a mix of 'smattering' and 'smuts' - very appropriate!

    BBC Weather reporting 158mm of rain at Honister since Friday. Cumbria has certainly been dampened.

    Tom,

    It's not on the railway. Because the railway company declined to paint the loco in BR lined black with a BR number, it's been re-routed via the canal.

    That’s good news, running an off road driver training course up there next week, the “wading” section of the course is a bit of a non event at the moment.
