Ne’er cast a clout til May be out…
Well, the sun may be shining but the winds still coming from the East and is as cold as ever. But it hasn’t stopped the MPLR staff giving the railway a good spring clean and a lick of paint. The PW boys were out and about on the Bank Holiday the other day getting the station area ready for another summer. Alex, resident painter and decorator, was doing a bit of overtime just finishing off painting the new fencing on the station.

The fencing is looking very smart with its new white paint. Job thought that he had better check on the work and decided to take a look to see if Alex had done the back of the fencing too!
Alex had been very busy as he had also painted Bill Goodie the Reserve Manager’s house at Railway Cottages. We think that he has done a very good job too!
A nice Essex pink
Mrs Goodie obviously thought so too as we caught her sunbathing outside her nice pink cottage!
Alex’s girlfriend, unfortunately, was not at all impressed that her Bank Holiday had only been a couple of sandwiches on the station platform. Alex said that Shemone’s favourite place is by the lakeside! Still, they did make it up in the end and spent a romantic evening on the bench.

We have to agree that it is very romantic in the quiet of the evening at the MPLR.
