Spring has sprung.

Rough seas on the Corniche in Mutrah. A wall of water HWW to everyone. A late posting but enjoy the rest of the day.

Clumber Park is a country park in The Dukeries near Worksop. The estate, which was the seat of the Pelham-Clintons, Dukes of Newcastle, was purchased by the National Trust in 1946. This is a very impressive building but in fact it is "only" the stables. The main house built in the 18th century suffered several fires and then post-WWI heavy taxation led the 9th Duke to demolish it in 1938. There's only one bench but it's a long one and well used. HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start of the new week.

After holidaying in Honfleur we followed "La Route des Chaumières" which was a circuit through the Regional Natural Park of the Boucles de la Seine. It passes through small villages on the south side of the River Seine west of Rouen well-known for their traditional Normandy half-timbered brown & cream thatched cottages. The garden of this cottage in Vieux Port backs directly on the river. HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

Walls, shadows and the Alhambra. HWW to everybody. Have a great day.

Another bench on Aylestone Meadows. This one comes with running water to wash your feet in... HBM to everyone. Enjoy the (hopefully dry) start of the new week.

Speeding through Lancaster Castle on the Down Fast Line LNER A2 pacific 63532 Blue Peter heads 1Z32 the 07.00 London Euston to Carlisle mainline special The Cumbrian Mountaineer. Steam took over the train from Crewe and was running 1 minute early.

Super Power! Bulleid Battle of Britain pacific 34072 257 Squadron & British Railways Standard 5 4-6-0 73156 double-heading the 13.45 ex-Loughborough non-stop express to Leicester North. Me and Andy were the crew on 73156 with this same working on Friday. We both agreed that it would make a great photo from across the field so the next day that's just where I went... It's not obvious but if you look very carefully there is a fence just about visible! HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

The Basilica of Notre-Dame. HWW to everybody. Have a great day.
