Nearly a year on – Salisbury by steam
I’ve been really busy this year consequently I haven’t posted in a long time. We went to Salisbury by steam yesterday. Had a great day and took some photos. Naturally we traveled first class!

York Again
It’s a long time since I posted so here goes. We managed a quick visit to York at the end of November on a Chartered Rail Tour run by ‘Rail Tours UK’. These are thoroughly recommended. We went to the Christmas Market which had horrendous crowds and the National Rail Museum which was much more […]
Red Arrows
Once again at Farnborough Airshow – the Red Arrows. I’m really pleased with this photo.
Gardening Photos

The stern end has a viewing deck with a restaurant/bar and the other end contains the swimming pool for the hotel. Believe it […]

Terracotta Army
Well it is time for another post and it is long overdue. I better get a move on otherwise I’ll be bumping into Christmas! Continuing the saga of our holiday in Singapore we went to the Museum of Asia. They had an exhibition of some of the characters from the Chinese Terracotta Army – both […]
