Associate of mine has just finished restoring a 1950's AEC Regent (RT ) that was based at Sutton.

Do not have any buses anymore.

Wont mention what I have sitting on the drive awaiting my attention though.
anything else remains secret squirrel lol

Snowing here, so no gardening today that's for sure.

That's interesting about the Sutton bus, Pa Snip, i will tell my Mum next time i speak to her.

You weren't one of the old drivers when she was there, wre you....

No I never worked for LT or any other bus company. I didn't own my first vehicle until the early 90's

I do know a couple of guys who used to work at Sutton as drivers for a while but not sure when.

Gosh Pa Snip, i'm going back to the begining of the fifties and then again late fifties, when she was there.

I remember, in 1963, part of my journey to college was on the tram. It was so cold that the hooky things slipped off the wire things up in the air, and we all had to get off the tram and push it. Luckily we were all fit and healthy young things, travelling to typing college, so the tram fair whizzed along the road. And we weren't late either.

1960's , you sure it wasn't a Trollybus Diane.

I mentioned a few days ago that I had popped up the plot but although it was sunny it was a chill wind so I came back home.

Just cant get on top of those weeds at the moment. Not happy about plot looking in poor state at present.

Oh and naff photos as lens hood appears to be in wrong position

Lovely pictures Pa Snip....don't get too down about your plots, i think there would be a lot of people out there, that would like to have plots as neat and tidy as your's....

The wind certainly has a bite to it this morning.

Cold & damp here so started shredding in the shed yesterday, then sun came out so moved outside 5 minutes latter got bombarded by hail stones.

You're absolutely right Pa Snip - it was a trolley bus ... (note to self...engage brain!). And I'm absolutely loving all your pictures xx

Got my Mum's pension for her yesterday and asked the girl behind the counter for two dozen first class stamps....she didn't know how many that was....
