That’s me in Scotland for xmas 2021
That’s me now in Scotland! Had been hoping to stop off, a lot on way up and take lots of photos! But it was raining about 95% of the time! When it was not raining, had very bad fog!
Just hoping, the weather pick up a bit! Since, I have a wetsuit with me and want to go some wetsuited walks and take some photos…

Various photos at Norwich railway station : 11-11-2021
It’s changed at Norwich railway station, since I last went in 2019. Back then Class 90s were still running on the London Liverpool Street – Norwich line. They are all know gone and been replaced with the much better Class 745s.
