D is for….

D is for December.
The month of Christmas. This Christmas is a special one for me as its my first white Christmas. I am spending it here in Canada with my lovely girl Bridget. We have had our Christmas tree up for a while now, a real one. My first real chrstmas tree as i’ve always had plastic ones.

D is for Deer.
Being from Australia we don’t have Deer and people think that we have Kangaroos jumping through our back yards. Well they are wrong. Its worse here in Canada where they have Deer jumping through there back yards.

A Marshmallow World

It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round.
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose wont freeze.
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
Thats how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world.

Blackburn Bike Lights

Got an awesome early Christmas present from my girlfriend last night for my bike riding. It gets dark here after 3.30pm here in Canada during the winter and riding on the road after this time requires two things. Warmth and Light. I have the warmth but i didn’t have the light. Now i have the light!! http://www.blackburndesign.com/lights.html

Today will be my first trial with them and I’m sure they will work perfectly. They are fast charging which is what everyone wants in battery charging.

Progress Report

So my little village is coming along nicely. Yesterday i found information on a local model club which i might join. The Central Okanagan Railway Company (CORC) is the model club which “is a casual, yet dedicated, collection of 12 to 20 model railroaders who built and operate a lengthy HO scale characterization of the Kettle Valley Railway as in existed during the mid 1960’s.”

Here is a current photo of what i am working on. The houses aren’t completely finished yet but you can get an idea of what i am planning. I am concentrating most of my effort on the landscape at the moment.

My New Scene

So for a little bit i have been working on a new scene. Here are a couple of pictures of how its going.

Note : The Roof isnt completed and the small shed has just been built.
