Being arty farty doesn't come easy Ralph, I had to climb that bank as well as knock a wall down for that shot.

It's too late for this years "Brit" awards unfortunately .........................................I'll get my coat!

Thanks for the other nice comments as well. :yo:

 

Very good day thanks to all involved

 

My first day out on the S & C plus Shap for over 20 years - what a belter!! To all of those involved many thanks for the entertainment, tho' 2 trains on 2 lines did keep things a wee bit busy.
