The Beauty of Nature

Being able to turn a train seems almost silly. They are supposed to go up and down and that is it. Yet it seems a logical process to be at the front of a train when it is moving. I never saw the merit of a loco pushing the train in front of it – how can you see danger?!

I suppose these are nothing more than pressure cookers with a use for the steam coming off. Still they are a sight to behold.

I liked this train, it was so twee. I suppose those of you into trains will tell me off for saying that, but it looked so sweet to me.

I took a trip on the local narrow gauge railway. It was small and bijou and quite fun apart from the weather.

These are a couple of shots of te towers at the station, one highlighting the sky, the other the towers.

I always love the quaint way we stop people from crossing railways. As if it is a real deterrent.

As you can see, the station is a little old fashioned and basic really.

It still has the old water tower for steam trains; gentler times eh?

This is a little place in Cumbria I went to recently, it’s called Foxfield and is very small and empty. It has one road going through it and most people never stop as there is only a pub and station here.

I?ve not been slacking off just because I have not posted recently. I have been very busy of late adding to the garden and reshaping things here and there. I shall be showing you soon, when I am ready of course.

This is almost a distant memory at the moment. February has been a dark dull month again. I’m looking forward to getting out in the garden again to see how my bulbs are doing.
