BASKETS!!
No not Foggies! Yesterday Monday Bunty and Neil spent a good chunk of the morning preparing 2 new Winter Hanging Baskets for the Station entrance to sit on the lovely but forlornly ornate brackets. Bunty, "Skimmias, grasses, ivies and bulbs - no pansies!" And thus it was - plants kindly provided by Glossop Garden Centre, wrought iron baskets by FOGS. On a beautiful sunny day we finally landed at the station around lunchtime to put these up. Neil seizing the chance to use a borrowed lightweight Network Rail ladder as opposed to our two ton wooden one quickly got into position to put them onto the brackets with Bunty as always saying only use reef knots!! There are more?? By sheer coincidence a little four person tour was being led around the station by Karen Davidson of Network Rail with Storyrail and High Peak Council reps to view progress on the renovations. It was nice to pass on compliments and hear updates on progress. Karen spent time doing this which was appreciated. Neil then called by on Cezara at the Chronicle with a view to this story about the baskets being featured. Simon's thoughts on this? Non news Neil - now if you were to fall off the ladder this would be news!! Despite this upbeat assessment Cezara was interested and notes were made! Today Tuesday Neil was somewhat surprised to be phoned to say the story was to be made bigger. Could  Neil make a photo session at 12.00 with Richard? This turned out to ge a half hour Hollywood style production involving Richard 12 feet up a ladder looking down on Neil gazing up at said baskets! We may as well take some waiting room shots adds Richard. Poor Cezara - now faced with innumerable shots of baskets, Neil and waiting rooms. Not that big a story she thinks!!
