Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

I had various things planned for this afternoon. The list didn't include attending the November meeting of the West London Meccano Society (WLMS) with Chris (Meccano is one of his hobbies). Ended up doing just that, though. Chris is editor of the Society's newsletter, and photographer & chronicler of events and the models exhibited at these gatherings. But he arrived at Greenford Community Centre this afternoon only to find that he'd left the camera behind. A beseeching phone to me, and I agreed to take it up there. Well, how could I say no? Particularly since the November meeting is the one where they award the Bert Love Trophy - and if you know anything about Meccano and those who rank highly in the Meccano modelling community, you'll have an idea how important that presentation is! But it took me ages to get there (horrendously long wait for bus), so I was persuaded to stay for the rest of the meeting and come home with Chris.

Don't get me wrong - they're really nice people - they've always been very welcoming and friendly on the odd occasion when I've accompanied Chris to an exhibition or meeting. But while I find Meccano quite interesting, it's generally not interesting enough to tear me away from my computer for a whole afternoon. But this time Meccano (and the cold weather and the vagaries of the local buses) won, and I stayed on until the end of the meeting, thus getting a lift home from one of Chris's friends - many thanks Howard.

And win is also what the superb model Oshkosh lorry in this photograph did, as it is the model which won its constructor, Richard Payn, the Bert Love Trophy for this year. Congratulations Richard!
