Choo choo's Pt.2

Another place we visited a few times in the 1970's was the Vale of the Rheidol which is a steam train line running from the Welsh university town of Aberystwyth to the Devils Bridge some 12 miles downline.
I'm sure the engine we went on was called Owen Glendwr who I think was something of a hero to the Welsh fighting English occupation of their Country.

 The countryside in that part of Wales is very mountainous and really beautiful.

B is for berries

One nice thing about where we live is we live in the countryside with woodland so you sure notice the seasons and as we're well in the fall the berries are out on my trees so here'sa a little picture of them.

The long wait

That whole moment of waiting outside the office of the head of year or head teacher in full view of everybody as they passed the corridor sniggering because they knew you would be invited in to discuss your recent attitudes and behaviour and leave with a very smarting bottom is one those of my generation knew well.

Little Moreton Hall

There's this really important big house near where I live in Cheshire that I like to stroll along to and admire the construction as well as reading all about it's history.

It's one of the finest Tudor black and white houses in the whole of England. The first photographs I have of it were done on a Kodak Disc camera but they weren't too good having heaps of graininess.

False feelings

 The tendency to try to come over as if you truly are sorry when really you don't feel it in your heart is a common one born of the idea that's sufficient to get you off the hook so we have cod emotions with crying but really it is a great stage act.

You're hoping that it'll work but people including me need to know that won't be accepted and be punished reliable for it.

It's deceit, being dishonest at the end of the day.

Late vacation

For this week I've been away on vacation so here's a few images of Llandudno where I stayed.

Playing at making sandcastles using your bucket is so me.
While I was away, Mommy took me on the train to the top of the Great Orme.

This is Victoria Station where we joined the line waiting to get our tickets and get on board.

Here the train goes travelling for a part of the way  along track that has been embedded into the road surface. The tramcars are old with wooden panels and seats.

I visited a record store and bought myself some new lps and a few used cds for my collection.

I also got the classic Anime, Akira! cheaply on DVD having fond memories of seeing that on TV in the early 90's.It's a tour-de-force of action never letting up.

Instant correction

The act of being put over a knee and handspanked is far more effective than many would credit sending you into real discomfort and at the point of being tearful.
