Behind the scenes
I was surprised how long it is since I last posted on the blog, and embarrassed to see that I promised a map of how to reach 59 Scotgate from the Station. I made the map some while ago and somewhat optimistically left copies in a stout envelope stuck to the shop window under cover of the arcade, near Cross Country’s ticket machine. As long as the envelope is allowed to remain there I’ll keep it topped up. Meanwhile here is the map itself, if you are planning a train trip to Stamford it might be better to print it off beforehand than to rely on finding a copy still in the envelope.
Station House continues to keep us busy. By the end of this month we have to have cleared it completely. Of course we have already removed 99.9% of the stock and equipment to 59 Scotgate but you can have no idea the amount of extraneous junk that can be accumulated in a workplace over twenty-nine years. Once we have finished this monumental task we shall hardly know what to do with our time. Or so it seems just now.
Back at 59 Scotgate the one thing we still lack is a signboard. It’s taken rather a while to organise this, but we are keeping our fingers crossed that the new boards will go up next week. This will be a relief because – assuming I get a nice blue sky day to photograph it – I shall at long last be able to update the photos on the web site. Watch this space.
