#MondayMorningBlues One last shot of Saturday's 6M89 Middleton Towers to Chaddesden sand train, this one a closer shot from the platform at Whittlesea as 60095 hurries past. The PBO-IPS stopper pulled away a second after she passed us, thanks driver! 😃👍 #DCR #Fenland 28/3/26

#SaturdaySandTrain once again, this week a trip over to Whittlesea to see #GBRF 60095 'Whernside', still hard at work for DC Rail on 6M89 Middleton Towers to Chaddesden Sidings. The sun was wrong side but some light cloud meant the shot was still on. #DCR #Fenland 28/3/26

The police said: “Did you know about pressing 55 after calling 999 - known as the silent solution? Doing so lets the 999 operator know your call is genuine, and they will try to track your location."

first the leap into the pool beside the wooden causeway surface like a polished shield, shattered, shock of winter though the month was August and the air was hot darkness like a raven’s breast then light welled faintly from below from deeper down flickering like a rushlight by the door the flames grew brighter nearer, flames from unfamiliar hearths flaring like a brand flung high and shedding sparks and suddenly I fell among them, sprawling staring like a frightened child, life essence whirling out among the swirling scintillations glowing like a spray of bloodstones spreading out into the water from my soft throat where the sacrificial blade had sliced fading like a fallen doe’s eyes fading like a cooling ember fading like a plucked flower
