In 1964 when I was about 15, I travelled from Leicester to Stuttgart overnight on my own by train and ferry, for an exchange visit. While there, I visited a loco maintenance depot. I found 3 degrading slides yesterday. No hi-vis 😲

Sunrise over the Firth of Forth circa late 1980s. Originally taken using a Yashicamat 124g on Fuji slide film. My slide scanner went ages ago, so I attempted to copy it with the camera on my phone. Backlit with a 6000k LED. #photography

Always a slow passage through here. Hopefully the line speed will now be increased. Perhaps🤔 the rest of the line from Lowestoft to Saxmundham will be upgraded soon. 🤞

Saturday outing to The Peak 1973. When I arrived back at the hotel, the aircraft captain told me he had received a signal to inform me that my Dad had died. 😢
