Sunday sun and Sulzer…
It has been a busy hot weekend, a day out to Statfold on Saturday and running about yesterday for the kids and then chores, grass cutting and car washing…
The silky burble of the Sulzer Diesel engine in the Llangollen Railway’s Class 26 kept my spirits up, as it purred up and down the valley. I decided to walk up the hill and catch the last train of the day returning to Llangollen, and captured this shot as it rounded the bend across the river from home. We really are lucky to have a railway like this on the doorstep, and I hope to squeeze in a ride next Saturday. Until next time, more soon…

It was the lawn that killed me!

ReplyDeleteThat Llangollen railway is a constant inspiration isn't it? A parade of DMU's and now this! It looks so right and like I imagine an era of railroading I just missed preserved in a way I imagine it would have looked like if I had seen it as it was and that feels just perfect and very, very enticing.

That’s a wonderful reflection from across the Atlantic Chris, thank you. I notice, in this photo especially, my own love hate with the valley. It’s all green and all of a time, but is all valley and no sky. I pine for the open fields of Shropshire, the coastal low hills of North Pembrokeshire… even just a house on a hill. Rather we’re stuck here in the bottom of a beautiful valley yet all I can see are frustration.
