No matter where I end up, I always seem to bump into a local operator's motor in some form or another, this being a classic example!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the morning I took this photo. I headed to The Skillion at Terrigal for sunrise while visiting there in August/September this year. Thankfully I had taken my gumboots with me and I just stood there while water flowed over them watching the waves coming in crashing against the rocky coast. I watched the sun come up giving rise to some awesome rays. What beauty!

A 370-mile round trip to see some coaches? Why not?!! An easy day trip to Sheffield today (10/01/2025) to see around 80 coaches bringing participants to the Young Voices Concert at the Utilita Arena.
I was rewarded with a very nice variety of coaches including a King Long XMQ6120C, a Neoplan Skyliner(!), Beulas Spica, Bova Magiq, Jonckheere Mistral and a Sunsundegui Sideral to name but a few. That's a good chunck ticked off my "coach types bingo card" for 2025!
Blackpool's Central Coach Station is very compact and National Express coaches have to do a 180 degree turn on departure which isnt too easy with a coach of this size.

This is a skill that I really want to learn. She was riding a horse and monitoring the sheep so that they would move together as a group.
It was a skill that she can use for life. I am jealous of her as I cannot possibly do it....

A couple bucks won all these tickets and got elealeh all the prizes she wanted with left over tickets. Fun with the family!
Despite its geographical proximity to Chilwell I rarely ever go to Stapleford for photos, because to get back from there it’s a big hill to go up, and I’ve mentally drawn a border at the A52 which I tend to keep to the east side of! After all the interesting trains of the day had gone and everybody else cleared off, I stuck around because I was sorting out something to do with my bike, and it’s a good job I did because I then got rewarded with a B9TL Gemini!
