Another week and another change in the weather…Today’s been spent confined to barracks as the sunshine we enjoyed on our walk yesterday has deserted us completely – as have the decent temperatures. Instead, the pair of us have spent the day hunkered down as home at our respective computers bashing out work.

I shouldn’t complain. Things need to be done and at least I’ve not had to spend lots of time watering the garden. Plus, at least I’m clearing the decks for later in the week when I get get out and about again. On thing that did take some time today was getting more old slides and other railway memorabilia on eBay. The sites improved its processes in recent years but it still takes a while to load up individual items. One auction sale ended today so I was keen to get new slides and other items ready for the next one. You can find the latest batch of pictures, clothing and mugs here – with more to be added soon.

All this office-bound activity means there’s a short blog from me tonight – and it’s also a speculation free area that makes no reference to the absolute bin-fire that social media has been today other than to say that libel Lawyers are going to be having a very busy, productive (and profitable) time over the next few weeks…

Right, we’re off to watch a film and indulge in some escapism. Catch you all tomorrow!

Oh, Today’s picture? I’ll leave you with this one. My article on last month’s ‘3 peaks by rail’ charity challenge is in the lates edition of RAIL magazine which hits the newsagents on Wednesday when you can pick up a copy and read the full story of the trip.

I’ve a small favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this or any of the other blogs I’ve written, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course – although if you did find something that tickled your fancy that would be fab! – but the revenue from them helps me to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site (which isn’t cheap and comes out of my own pocket). Remember, 99% of the pictures used in my blogs can be purchased as prints from my other website –  https://paulbigland.zenfolio.com/
