No bids on this lovely auction?
I'm sure if people are waiting for payday, we can hammer the auction down and wait for you to pay until whatever day you're paid this month.And this you can see is the bolt. The purpose of this
Is to open the breech, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.
They call it easing the Spring: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: like the bolt,
And the breech, and the cocking-piece, and the point of balance,
Which in our case we have not got; and the almond-blossom
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards,
For today we have naming of parts.

All right - I'll start you off with a tenner.
The stopped clock of The Belfast Telegraph seems to indicate the
time
Of the explosion - or was that last week's? Difficult to keep
track:
Everything's a bit askew, like the twisted pickets of the
security gate, the wreaths,
That approximate the spot where I'm told the night patrol
went through.

£20, because the child in me demands a train set!

Thanks for your bid, AP. Hope the child in you will like them.

And it looks to me like a GS blanket indeed.

Just under 3 hours to go.
Thank you for the bids so far, please note I am paying the postage.
The 0-6-0 shunter is the kit build Dapol unmotorised model but can be motorised by a skilled modeller by removing the wheels sets etc below the sole bar.
The table covering is a sheet of black cotton drill waiting to be machined in to a drill rugby training top. Used as the models did not stand out on a plain white table cloth. No army blankets in my house!!! (they are nicely folded and stacket in the garage with my reserve kit and my 1958 webbing).
