Default A nice day for it

On Saturday a contingent of none steam enthusiast Scottish visitors (plus interloper Mr Traction Time & daughter) expressed a desire to see the engines. We therefore organised a steam up, tea & cakes followed by a run round the block ending up at the Bell for lunch. Pleasant day was had by all and I think it helped the Scots forget about their defeat in the rugby. Anyway as usual a few photos and short video. The slow ascent up the hill was to try and reduce ash being deposited on the visitors

The shadow's look a lot longer in the picture's of the engines outside the pub, no doubt the stay inside was somewhat extended !.

You might say that but I couldn't possibly comment.

You do realise that the sun sets very quickly particularly in deepest Derbyshire now that winter is almost upon us

I like the collecting box......the RNLI is one organisation that I actively support.....as well as a number of restored lifeboats.

Yes my dad has always supported RNLI even though there are not many places further from the sea than land locked Derbyshire.

The Scottish guests were more than generous despite their alleged reputation for being reluctant to open their wallets.
