It was so funny to see two female Merganzers hanging around a large group of Mallards and getting quite snippy when they felt too crowded!!! Usually when Merganzers get one look at you they take off asap, but these two were just part of the crowd!

Under the new ownership of Cloburn Quarry Company Ltd, Ravenstruther Rail Terminal is once again back in business after many, many years of no freight traffic.
On Monday the 4th of April 2022, 66554 is photographed at Ravenstruther Rail Terminal having just worked 6K60 from Thornton Terminal Complex (T.C.) with Freightliner back at one of there old haunts. The train comprising of 30 MHA/MFA EWS Coalfish wagons has just been propelled from the headshunt onto the loading point.
Later on in the evening the fully loaded train ran to Millerhill S.S., 3 hours 44 minutes early via a run round at Mossend. The ballast is eventually ending up along the Levenmouth Branch Line which is currently being reinstated.
A welcome sight indeed but also a rather strange one seeing a Freightliner Class 66 and even just a freight train back at Ravenstruther.

An unfairly derogatory caption, to be honest. The Jamaica Wine House, known locally as "the Jampot", is located in St Michael's Alley, Cornhill, in the heart of London's financial district in the City of London.
It was the first coffee house in London and was visited by the English diarist Samuel Pepys in 1660. It is now a Grade II listed public house (pub) and is set within a labyrinth of mediaeval courts and alleys.
It should be no surprise that an old place with such a name has historic links with the sugar trade and slave plantations of the West Indies and Turkey. There is a plaque on the wall which reads 'Here stood the first London Coffee house at the sign of the Pasqual Rosee's Head 1652.' Pasqua Rosée, the proprietor was the servant of a Levant Company merchant named Daniel Edwards, a trader in Turkish goods, who imported the coffee and assisted Rosée in setting up the establishment. The coffee house, which opened in 1652, is known in some accounts as The Turk's Head.
The building that currently stands on the site is a 19th-century public house. This pub's licence was acquired by Shepherd Neame and the premises were reopened after a restoration that finished in April 2009. Today, it features a wood-panelled bar with three sections on the ground floor, and downstairs an elegant restaurant.
Back in 1957, PMT had a small group of new Beadle integral coaches delivered. They were built using Commer running units and powered by that firm's horizontally opposed 3 cylinder two stroke engine. They gained a reputation for being fast, and for frugality when it came to fuel consumption but posessed little by way of torque and were incredibly noisy. Here 716 AEH is posed for its official PMT photograph and its from the latter's archive that the original b&w image comes which I've colourised.

Nice to be fully back to myself though even without the sun.

On the way back to Singapore, another brilliant sunset. I'm sure the other passengers were annoyed when I kept lifting the shade to see what the sun was doing. But it was worth it.

Restricted to the Santa Marta mountains of northern Colombia, this hummingbird is considered endangered due to deforestation, burning and over-grazing, even though its range largely overlaps with the Santa Marta National Park. It lives in humid, elfin forests and páramo from 2000 m to the snow line at 4600 m and feeds on flower nectar and insects which are caught in the air or gleaned from leaves. We were very fortunate to see this single male, feeding at the hummingbird feeders at El Dorado Lodge.
I am good, I am evil.
I am solace, I am chaos.
I can't quite contain or explain my evil ways, or explain why I'm not sane. All I can say is this is your warning~

IC 3100 and 9619 are seen with a test version of the IC's new black paint scheme. The units would head up a passenger special originating in Homewood. 10/03/87--Paul Meyer photo
A view that typifies the narrow back streets of the larger cities in Malta. There is usually plenty of colour, most houses sport colourful balconies, everything is built of warm sandstone and Land Rover Defenders are still plentiful.
Spotted this dragonfly and frog [ below ] on our hike this morning. [ I'm taking a break from posting cat images...ha]

Playing catch up with my photos,
This is what I wore last Wednesday to lessons, As it was blooming hot I decided to wear a dress with blooms upon it,
Have to fess up I didn't wear the petticoat to dance in as it was a little to hot for too many layers,
Had a good class though now things are starting to feel more natural
