Wot I did on my holydee

  Scotland!  For a brief period, it wasn't raining. next, Yorkshire... Before the TV series, I came to Goathland on a school trip where I wasted most of my spending money in this post office, buying crap plastic animals, battery-operated fans and lots of mintcake.   Final stop was Norfolk, though I took no photos so here's a cracking picture of a Chubb fire engine at Elvington aviation museum instead - fond memories of the Corgi airport crash truck I had as a nipper. Covered 1552 miles over 6 nights, Pan European is a hefty lump that's awkward at low speed/parking, but was great for this trip.

All change in 2024

  CLK is for the chop... as is this house, we're starting a new chapter. CLK has been replaced with this E220CDI which I won in a raffle last week - it's bloody great, especially for 2x £20 raffle tickets.  Had to collect it from the North Pennines though, on many trains.
