An outing to the Cotswolds – ending with a visit to Snowshill Manor and its amazing collection of – er – collectables… Follow the thumbnail for more photos of the exterior; visit the National Trust’s Snowshill page for more information.
Berrington Peacock
Easter Sunday – a cold wind, sleety showers, the sun doing its best to stay behind the clouds… Not a great day for an outing to Berrington Hall, just inside Herefordshire, between Ludlow and Leominster. Nevertheless, there were one or two opportunities for the cameras – follow the thumbnail to Flickr for more.
Steamy old slides
I’ve been scanning some old slides, taken 20 – 30 years ago, when I spent perhaps more time than I should have, going out snapping steam specials on the main lines (haven’t bothered so much in recent years – too many people – and trees – and inevitably photos identical to those of many others…)

The road to the iron works
A trip to Blists Hill, while the light was still good… With a wet day forecast for Sunday, it was an opportunity for a breath of fresh air and a few photos
