    Many thanks Jonnie. But my full day there yesterday in the heat that the Met Office reported reached 30 C in that area, and despite all I did to try and keep in shade and with my car aircon at times, meant I got up this morning with some of the signs of heat exhaustion. Not up to the level of heat exhaustion that made me decide to end ascending Bavarian mountains in summer circa 20 years ago - although back then it was 32 C or a little more. But enough this morning to warn me to keep out of the sun today.

    So it has been a quiet day at home for me, plenty to drink and fans blasting away as will my bedroom aircon when I take a short 'thinking break with my eyes shut' quite soon.

    But very many thanks to you all at the Spa Valley for running the SR Mogul again this weekend. Very much appreciated.

    With the enormous cost of lorry transport these days I imagine it will not be a loco that will often run again where SR Moguls once did in the 1960s.

    So thanks again,

    Bryan
