Just been looking at 'Life Stinks' excellent picture of one of these locomotives which he took in the quarries near Buxton. Typically of me, I hardly ever photographed the class, I suppose I thought that they'd be around for many a year yet particularly if judged by the standards of the Brush built class 47 forebears. How wrong, the vast majority of the 60s are now withdrawn or mothballed... and I've got half a dozen shots!
Three years ago, Mrs 'R' persuaded me to take her to this mystical place at the top end of England called Northumberland to which she'd never been, a place which I'd always held in high regard due to interest fostered over the years by visits to relatives who lived near Morpeth. This was a chance encounter as we drove south, we'd seen 60 096 looped a few miles further north, and Warkworth crossing was the only convenient point which I could find in a hurry. ... Yes, I was standing on the public right of way!
I found this while trying to do some cleaning on the computer. It was taken during our holiday on Crete two years ago. I just love her being so cool 😉
And an unintencional selfportait as well 😉
