Thanks everybody for your kind messages, makes me feel very welcome! Yes I'm a real ale man, weaned on Shepherd Neame but it's hard to find here in remote Herefordshire. Wye Valley Brewery turns out some decent ale though. Put me down for the real ale sub-group!
I have loads of pics of the old NDSR when it was at Chatham Dockyard, having miraculously managed to hang on to my photo collection through upwards of a dozen house moves (not to mention two divorces). Just have to find them... they are around here somewhere...
I will be helping to get Kinlet Hall ready for her main line trip to Ely later this month, but I can't go with the support crew this time – I have to be in Portsmouth at the weekend to be with my daughter (it's her graduation). Goodness that makes me feel old!
