I just shared a big update on my mushroom foraging guide I’m writing 🙌 There’s a free video on Patreon patreon.com/luke_venechuk

Pretty sure I used the phrase “hell yeah” more than any other mushroom guide author ✍️

China is getting rid of retractable door handles, while the EU is getting rid of essential controls hidden in touch screen menus.
The world is healing. ♥️

Near Tczew, the railway passes over the Wisła river and associated flood plain, across a long viaduct. The adjacent road viaduct was not rebuilt after war damage.

Apologies for the reflections in the video, the sun was at a most inconvenient angle!

Malbork Castle is the biggest brick-built castle in Europe, and very interesting to visit. Also very close to the railway!

Thanks to the very conveniently-timed freight train here 🙄

So few of these tin tabernacles left, but so lacking in conventional architectural or historic significance that they are seldom protected

Another train in the dark - operating as 6Z02, a railgrinder slowly passes in a shower of sparks.

A train in the dark…

1Q22 0743 Derby RTC to Bristol Kingsland Road is seen just before 10pm, close to the end of its journey, passing both ways between Filton and Hallen Marsh.

Power cars 43257/43274 top-n-tail the PLPR3 rake, including TRC 999550, the last loco-hauled Mk2 built for BR.

Crewe station is unusual in having the ‘off’ indicators on the wall (or close to the buffer stops) rather than hung from the canopy above the relevant platform (Submitted by @driverbod.bsky.social)

One Bristol taxi driver tonight should be considering himself lucky that I don’t have a GoPro (/etc) when I’m cycling, because apparently when approaching a mini roundabout like this, I’m difficult to see? 🤨

Luckily I had anticipated what was about to happen and was able to stop short…

Last week, I probably had the most fun so far in a career of playing with trains. And it wouldn't have been possible without a brilliant team, including PM Kat (pictured) and systems engineering wrangler Helen Simpson.
