Welcome!

Hi, my name is Tom Lancaster and now that the kids have all grown up and left home and I've got 2 wonderful grandchildren, I have more time to spend on my hobbies. Mostly it's model railways and woodwork but, come the summer, growing my own veg tends to take over!

 This site is still under contruction (and probably will be for sometime 'cos I haven't really got a clue what I want out of it!) and I'm still learning how to do things, so please bear with me.  I will update the site whenever I can. 

July 2009 update:  Diecast models page added

Raised beds.   Front one is veg, rear one is fruit.

The bricks and the sticks are to keep our mad dog off the plot.  (They don't always work!)
