The start of the Easter weekend on the Strathspey Railway (photograph taken at work). Now that Spring is here, the weather has improved...

Spring arrives in Scotland...

MAGA, you mean? (Make America Go Away).

Scotland. In colour.

Out for a walk...

Finally a day without 100% cloud.

It's part of a preserved steam line, the Severn Valley Railway. The SVR provided the loco and carriages, and SVR staff were extras in the film. A replica signal box was erected in the cutting on the Kidderminster side of Bewdley Tunnel, and Highley signal box was used for the interior shots.

Everyday Eerie Anthology — GossamerWight Literary Magazine A compilation of thought-provoking flash fiction, short stories, and poetry that transport us from the everyday, or ordinary, into the otherworldly, or uncanny.

Everyday Eerie Anthology: bit.ly/4a2fbCU. №9: "Malcolm Timperley’s ‘Heat Treatment’ is a clever, unsettling critique of how modern medicine might unintendedly re-ignite old wounds in treating the body while neglecting the lingering, haunting shadows in our minds." James Priestley, GossamerWight.

Indeed. It took me twice as many to write "Awayday"...

It was OK. Pity it didn't include the 21st century.

Go on - you know it makes sense...

Brexit - the best investment Putin ever made...

Can't match that temperature, but it was -14°C when I took this at Drumrunie last January...

Nonsense! Westminster is home to the best politicians money can buy...

Nonsense! Join the Campaign for Real Winter!
