Ticket to Ride

By | May 18, 2012

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

Crossing Guard

By | May 14, 2012

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

Olden Times

By | May 12, 2012

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?

Town Called Ghost

By | May 10, 2012

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.

Slacking

By | March 30, 2012

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. Smile

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.

Pots

These look rather like ice cream cones with their snow tops on.

Container Garden

By | February 10, 2012

I bought some new containers for growing vegetables. They were reasonably priced and will mean no more bending as I have given up the plot this year as the soil was just to claggy to work properly. As you can see the snow filled them up so I will find out if they are good drainers. Smile

Grass

The poor old grass looked like it was drowning during the snow.

Snow prints

I couldn’t help but walk across the pristine snow and leave footprints; it’s what snow is for. ;)

Snow Garden

By | February 7, 2012

We had snow as you know this past weekend. It is all but gone now, but while it was here it was nice. As a gardener I suppose I should be bothered about it, but at this time of the year it does my garden little harm and forces the slugs to wait.
