. . . as my Mum (almost) used to say. With the furore over the Honda Cog TV Commercial having died down and the speculation over the whereabouts of the Iraqi Information Minister come to an end, I guess it's about time I reverted to what brought this Blog about in the first place and that's a whole mixture of things.

Here then, is a picture of some friends of mine. Dick Dove (on the right) was instrumental in setting up the Pinewood Miniature Railway I was involved in. He and his Wife, May, (seated) were invited to the Queen's Summer Garden Party in the grounds of Buckingham Palace.

They were accompanied by Dick's daughter, Barbara and her husband, Graham. They are pictured here in front of the Palace Garden gates. It is quite an honour to be invited, so congratulations to you both!
