Not only has the UK experienced a mild winter but it has also been deluged by periods of freak rainfall, and over the festive season I noticed new leaves sprouting on several species of plants around the garden that would normally lie dormant until late March. At the same time,world leaders are generating headlines through their apparently lukewarm stance towards climate change. However, positive signs of early green shoots which are more than welcome appeared at the meeting ofWest Somerset Railway shareholders before Christmas. After a loss of more than £800,000 in the previous financial year, early indications are that following drastic measures taken in time to remedy a dire situation, one of Europe’s finest seaside heritage lines and a sizeable national asset seems to have been brought back on course to register a profit this time round.
