Space, that is, if you count getting in a van and driving to London and back and then on a train and going to London and back!
Since my last post I've been to Cardiff to buy new stock for the shop for the forthcoming year and down to London twice to video the unloading and unveiling of Princess at Paddington. All very exciting but it means the paperwork pile was enormous when I finally got back to the office.
The Network Rail people at paddington were very helpful and seemed pleased to have us there even though we caused a bit of a stir dragging the 'old girl' over the concourse with a Landrover winch. The worst thing about the whole expedition was the temperature of the place; it was freezing. My feet still haven't warmed up properly!
Between the 'get in' and the 'show' on St David's Day I had a couple of days off so I decided to strip out my studio and re arrange it as I haven't been happy with the ergonomics of it. Finally got it all plugged in and working again, now I just need some time to make some muisc.
Anyway back to sunny Londinium I went for the great ceremonial unveiling. Everything went off very well and the main lady of the day looked stunning, her new paintwork shining in the lights on the stand.
Here is the video of the whole trip. It has been a bit of an epic to get it made because my new computer has arrived and it nearly works... more about that another time once it completely works.

The first time I went down in the van with Chris Parry and we took loads of goodies with us but the second trip I went by train with the unveiling team. I only stayed for one night the second time and came back by train in the afternoon... which was very slow as some overhead line had come down in the morning so everything was buggered up all day. Chester to bangor was a nightmare, I bet there is more space on Indian Railways trains. I didn't make it into the carriage but was stuck in the vestibule with drunk builders and loud mobile phone users; I really don't know how people put up with it on a daily basis. Urgh.
