One of my favourite hunting grounds when in a rush to take pictures, as I was this afternoon. The wind was bitter cold and stinging across the face so it is nice not to be far from home and a hot chocolate (that might have been laced with a generous splash of Baileys).
56091 passing Winwick with 6M89, the 09.01 Middleton Towers - Ravenhead loaded sand on Sat 27th May 2023.
Due to a speed restriction and the consist being only partially loaded, we didn't get the flying sand effects that this train often produces here. I was pleased enough with the result though, having tried unsuccessfully for this shot a couple of times before.
The Gannet is probably Bempton's signature bird, looking like something from prehistory.
The northern gannet is the largest of the gannet family and native to the Atlantic Ocean.

OK, I am about 2200 miles from Sherri and today is our 3rd anniversary. The peonies are one of Sher's favorite flowers, so this is to pay a small tribute to those 3 phenomenal years...how can time go by so quickly, yet be filled with such wonder? I am indeed a lucky man! However, it totally sucks being apart like this!
Now I have to tell the story of our love aria:
I first spied her walking down the hall at the downtown HS, where we were meeting to discuss the 1% for Art pieces at the valley HS. Sher was walking down the corridor, coming out of the darkness into the light. I was immediately taken by her adorable face, "cool" eyeglasses, snappy Alaskan hippie-chic clothes, and stylish hair cut. After the meetings with the artists, I asked the principal of my firm who she was and found that she had been on the art selection committee for the valley HS...she was also married, so that was off-limits for this boy. Well fate played a hand in this game...
About 1 1/2 years later I was heading out to Admiralty Island with my dogs and realised that my house would be sitting empty and my usual housesitter, Katie, would probably like some quiet respite there. So we met for dinner to discuss the schedule of my trip...and as it turns out to get drawn into a wonderful web that Katie was spinning. She very subtly asked if I was seeing anyone...I wasn't. And then told me that I should think about asking Sherri Brown out. I responded that she was adorable, but married...and Katie smiled this sweet, but sly smile and said: "not anymore". So I'm out at a cabin at Young Lake for 6 days with plenty of time to think about this turn of events...and did I ever think about it!
So Monday comes and I'm heading back to work, I walk in the front door of the office and who is standing at the front counter?!?! Well, of course this is some perfect Hollywood script, and it is the inimitable Sherri Brown! She immediately goes beet red, my ears go burning red (when I get embarrassed my ears go red..luckily most people don't notice it). She had just been hired by my firm to be the Interiors Architect and was going to assist me on the new HS. We found out later that as it so happened Katie had been talking to each of us and didn't tell each of us she was spinning this sweet web. So I'm all suave and such...and I shake her hand...very cool under fire am I. Well I spend a couple of weeks stealing glances at Sher as she walks down the hall or finding some reason to talk to her about some silly issue on the new HS. Katie is getting worried that we aren't playing by her devious rules, so she enlists my good buddy Aaron to plant the seed that Sherri doesn't think I like her...does this sound like HS or what? So it works perfectly...I run down the hall and walk into her station to ask her out. Then I realise that all of the work stations are open to each other and everyone will hear me. So I lower my voice to ask her to lunch. Sher leans in towards me, you know: THE LEAN, whereas a woman leans towards you to signal interest, and I think woohoo, I am in!!! I found out later that Sher is partly deaf...
We went to lunch on October 10th at a little sushi place. 2 hours went by like 2 minutes. I felt as if I'd known her my whole life. We went for a walk after lunch...what are they gonna do, fire us?!?! We saw several people we knew and every one of them rubber-necked...they knew before we did, this was definitely love...(Sher has since informed me that the walk occurred on our next date, but I;m sticking with it here as it makes for a more sappy story!)
I am so very grateful for these past 3 years and hope there are 30 more just like it to follow...I adore you Mon Sher, happy anniversary!!!
We stopped at every bench on the Sulphur Skyline trail today. This is the 3rd Bench. The views start to open up and the forested basin appears Altitude 1598m; Elevation gain so far, 210m. This is my daughter's 3rd ascent, she summited the ridge for the first time, when she was 8. Total elevation gain is 636m or 2086ft, a good hike to start the season :)
