Lord Stan Dardgauge's 2023 Xmas greeting.

We almost got away with it ,,,,, but Lord Stan has managed to squeeze in his faithful and irreverent Christmas & New Years message.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Fishplate Films and Lord Stan.

We are indeed fortunate to live in this lucky country far away from the conflicts in the northern hemisphere. It's a funny thing but we both started on our new house builds around the same time in the distant past. The bulldozers too have just finished on our property! What a co incidence! Hopefully we both may be in by next Christmas. I hope to come and visit when you are settled in. Look forward every year to Lord S's Xmas message, and I was starting to wonder if he would appear...I shall sleep soundly tonight. All the best Gregg and look forward to new adventures next year.

Merry Christmas Gregg! 😃It's 8PM in Ipswich X-Mas day, 28°C, 110% Humidity & this storm is coming right for us. I hope we don't cop the 5 inch hail they got to the north of us yesterday.

[@FishplateFilms]

Thanks TubbY! I just got back from a track fault at Coorparoo in the middle of the storm! No hail but heavy rain and I'm soaked ! Hope you did alright up there. Gregg 🙂

[@smokeyjoe1034]

Hello, Lord Stan Dardgauge. Could you ask Gregg to inform me about the going rates for the new airbnb rooms when they open to the public? Cheers and happy holidays to you and Gregg, Joe.

[@FishplateFilms]

I shall expect it will depend on what is the average rat will be when the house is built? Prices in the Hills vary from budget to mansions! Seasons greetings to you Joe and thanks for watching! Lord Stan.

[@avlisk]

I hope Mt. Lofty railway station gets preserved as a national landmark or historical site. It's the most famous, (and my favorite), railway building and train-spotting site in your country. (Am I correct that the station is closed now? Thanks.) Save Mt. Lofty! Merry Christmas from Maine, USA.

[@FishplateFilms]

Yes it is indeed! Mt' Lofty is a Heritage listed building and has just been renovated inside and looking for new tenants! Lets hope it gets some interesting clients as its a unique building in a great location.. There are quiet a few heritage stations in Australia, but LOfty isone of the best known. Lord Stan 🙂

[@avlisk]

Very relieved to hear it. Maybe there's a railroad club looking for a new home. That would be perfect. I envy whoever is building across the tracks. For a train enthusiast, that plot of ground is gold! @@FishplateFilms

[@FishplateFilms]

@@avlisk The station did have a train club in it many years ago , before it was turned into a BnB. Stay tuned and you will find out who owns the land across the tracks. LSD.

[@neilschwerdt3493]

Hi my dear friend in Australia are you building your house I hope so. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. From Neil schwerdt in west valley city Utah 😊

[@FishplateFilms]

Not quite yet Neil, but getting the ground works done will speed things up once I find a builder. Hoping to get things moving by this time next year? Merry Xmas and all the best for 2024. Lord Stan.
