I needed to make up an Amazon order to get free postage and thought why not?
I am not allowed to read it yet, apparently I have to keep it until next time I visit my daughter so I will have something to do while the ladies go shopping. >:(

That's just cruel!
They should let you read it.

I have been reading it when my wife goes to bed :-)

Nothing wrong with a bit of closet Narrow Gauge when no one else is looking !

The trouble is I have finished it now, so had better buy another one for the next trip.

And you'll probably have read that one as well by the time the next trip comes round. :) :)

My first grandson is due in mid April, but they live 150 mile miles away so we are sweating on first jabs in time. We are already a support bubble so clear to travel, but once we get there my wife will be very busy fussing around and after a day or two I will be superfluous.
It isn't done to take a model railway, I need to be billing and coeing, but a book and a laptop will be fine. I might even dust off my old first generation kindle and buy a book on that just for variety :-)
Is there a model shop in Banbury (Other than Hobbycraft, the entertainer, and Warhammer)? Will it be open by then?

None at all. Put in postcode OX16 1AB into this search and you will see the nearest:

That's what I thought.
I suppose that in practice I buy most model stuff online anyway so it isn't a big issue but I apart from proximity to the kids I am struggling to find any benefits to this move.
