The French Students came to Boston Lodge to build a Waggon
Now, I was wondering why there are two spellings of the word wagon/waggon, so I asked the question on Google.
Seems waggon is an old English word to describe a sturdy vehicle with 4 wheels but started change to “wagon” in the last century – Therefore it is logical why “Waggon Tracks” use this – they deal with Victorian vehicles!
I digress, we have three French Students who are spending 10 days using an old frame with rotted wood to restore as their project.
The waggon belongs to Llechwydd. It is a particular waggon that was used for moving people up and down the inclines with angled seats.

All the parts, cleaned of rust and almost finished being painted and – amazingly, this is only by day 4! I think what impressed everyone is their skills at working as a team, sharing all the work amongst themselves, rotating when completing a difficult task and how they quietly got on with the work. I think Glenn would be happy to employ them all!
