Reading Time: 4 minutesFor the first time in some years the annual seaside trip that Unison provides me was not to the usual Scarborough or Whitby, but the smaller East Yorkshire Town of Bridlington, somewhere I have not been until now. We planned not to take children this …
Reading Time: 4 minutesInspired, in part, by The High Line in New York there has been discussions about creating similar on Holbeck Viaduct for some years now. So far this has sadly not come to anything, but on a smaller scale the Monk Bridge Viaduct development has started …
Reading Time: 4 minutesI have been away for some time, back again in Norfolk. I grew up in Cambridge, so while not truly a Fenlander, The Fens were a place I travelled and raversed, and as my range grew they were the area of mystery on the edge …
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe all know I do love a good bit of railway action, and the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway can be quite a regular haunt. I am much more into diesels, but I love a steam train as much as anyone. It was, however, the …
Reading Time: 7 minutesI’ve split up the material from our visit to Lincoln, so as to not create huge long posts. On Sunday, after a very nice breakfast, and being very sad to leave the hotel room, we head out to explore the Castle and the Cathedral. The …

Reading Time: 3 minutesWe went over to York at the weekend, on a very cold and misty morning. I am kicking myself now for not getting my camera out on the journey, just to get reference shots, as the fields alongside the A64 were really inspiring (more on …
Reading Time: 5 minutesI have said for a while I have not done enough photography for a while. The other day needed to travel down to Norfolk for some business needing doing, and being up and awake early had the options of killing time waiting to leave, or …
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis is a beautiful winter warmer, spicy, creamy and smooth. It’s also perfect not to waste the scrapings from making your pumpkin man.
