Very true. I have my own camera now, just a compact, if you can’t beat them join them! At least I get some good walks even if I have to carry the packed lunch and flask as his bag is full of lenses, tripods etc etc!
 
Morning all a me d it was a 5.3 for me.

@eggyg we're hoping to see the Flying Scotsman later on as we aren't far from the Keighley to Skipton part of the line.

Off for a Covid test at lunch time prior to a visit to hospital on Wednesday. A bit annoying that it's drive through only as I could walk there in 10 mins.

I wonder what's on the telly tonight?

Have a good day everyone.
I’m quite excited truth be told, there’s been loads of steam trains these last few weeks. But The Flying Scotsman is rather special don’t you think?
 
I have one jealous husband now at the mention of the flying Scotsman never mind photography! He volunteers on a local (full size) steam railway. It’s a lovely one that goes along the coast. I lose him at least once a week! Enjoy maybe a photo to see later?
I’ll try my best. We know a good place that no one else goes to, so hoping for a good shot. I’ll post tomorrow, if mine’s useless I’ll pinch one of Mr Eggy’s.

The Flying Scotsman flew past Poole a couple of years ago. Mum and I made sure we were at the level crossing in the town centre in time to see it pass. No one waved to us either from the train. How disappointing. Hahaha.

8.6 this morning

They had better wave at me or I will be very disappointed!
 
Hi everyone 🙂 just found this thread

Woke up at 4.6 after being a 16.0 last night (was asking for it tbh as we had takeaway pizza). Did have a few days in a row waking up in the 3s (3.8, 3.9, 3.3) but after a phone call with diabetes nurse, they recommended I reduce my night time insulin to 9 units and have so far woken up in the 4s
 
Oh dear, yes, sorry, I had forgotten about him going out somewhere new. In some respects it is a shame he told you, when the anxiety about it affects you so badly. Do you think it is better for you to know or not know?
He kind of had to tell me as it meant he wanted to come up earlier than usual and wouldn't be here for his tea so I had to know and I'd rather he told me than I find out via Facebook like I would've xx
 
Just got back and it was a beautiful sight seeing it in steam.
We’ve just got back. We were the only ones in this particular bridge. Probably because it’s quite a hike to get to! It certainly lived up to it’s name. It flew under the bridge. Got the grand total of five photos. But as you say, fantastic in steam rather than when it’s just stood in the station. It was worth the sweaty five mile walk and a trek through the undergrowth.

Excellent shots especially when you load them up and click next next next arrow and it comes towards you. I like the smell of steam trains. 5 miles in each direction?!

No altogether. It’s been a hot and sticky day, rain was forecast but didn’t materialise. It would have been a welcome relief if it had though.
 
@eggyg
Wow Great photos! I would have expected more of a plume but really surprised/impressed at how many carriages he is pulling!! I wonder if the atmospherics reduce the plume. I imagine when the air temp is colder it will condense more quickly and look more impressive in the same way as when it is cold our breath condensed as we breath out.
As others say, from your series of photos you really get an impression of movement. Must be a huge honour to drive such a wonderful machine. Does make you feel nostalgic!
 
I luvs puffers! 🙂 Can anybody tell me do any trains ever run along a line completely without lights? I'm hoping I saw a ghost train that time, as it was coming through a haunted station. Fab pics, thanks for sharing.
 
Uh! I can’t stand anymore pre match stuff: coverage on BBC1 since 18:20; looked up the kick off time & it’s not until 20:00! So, come back then, see how much I can stand watching: haven’t watched a football match in it’s entirety since The World Cup final in Italy when Argentina played West Germany; Diego Maradona was seriously hampered the entire match with the German’s marking him but, the rest of the Argentine team showed that they’re NOT just a one man team & won without their star player, more or less! HOW long ago was THAT, I dread to think? 🙄:D Football mostly bores me to death!:D So, come on boys & “Bring it home!”
 
Oops! 😳 Just checked a few things with Siri, who didn’t have a clue so, 1st sign my memory is wrong then, googled & I totally messed up the facts!😳

The point is I’m going to WATCH a football match, or at least see how much I can stand, when I haven’t watched one in a VERY long time! 🙄:D

Apologies to all the die hard football fans for mis remembering & mashing up the facts! I’m sure it was The World held in Italy as The Three Tenors & Pavarotti sang & Opera, for a short while, became mainstream: pleased me a lot as I was always a classical girl vs pop! 🙄
