Looking good. I always marvel at the preponderance of point-to-points in
the UK. Very rarely done in the US. To the automobile, however, I say "Nuts!"

(Then again, my un-garaged automobile looks like it has been rolled over
and used for dray service. The OO looks good, though).

I think by now you should be getting the impression that there is just too much to pack into one visit. Plan to come again and see the things you missed on this trip. I fear you are quite correct. One could spend 9 days in London, 9 days in just about any spot you could stick a pin into. I've got t...

A trove of information, thank you many times over. Below is a link to a Time Team Special regarding Stonehenge. Perhaps you've already seen it. I was rather bowled over by it, as I was of the traditional teachings regarding this astonishing site. By the end of the documentary I thought to myself tha...

The photo of the chimney is most evocative. I am having some trouble, upon close inspection, determining if it is a model of a graduated chimney, or a prototype reference photograph? There is such an intimate variation of colors, washes, moss, cracks, tints that I am inclined to believe this is a pr...

Always delightful how passionate the Brits are about their football. As a pupil at the Shiplake Grammar School in '66 I was introduced to football, and was regularly beaten to a pulp. Those tykes were quite competitive. Thank you for the most useful information. Certainly "travel fatigue" ...

Haunting, lonely stretches under rain. Perfect for me! Cute chicks! Great photos all in all, thanks for posting.

So, I've been wanting to get back to the UK for some time now, and now that things are getting a little more even, I've kicked off a Vacation Account, depositing what I hope is a fairly healthy $800/month through July 2020 to bankroll a proper tour of one of my favorite Nations. With luck, will be t...

The video certainly does justice, only thing that is missing is the scent of coal smoke. Beautifully shot, and as always
the bridge is a beautiful view.

Supermassive. Great stuff.

It would appear I have 20 mm from chassis floor to interior roof top. I have been trying to find something on-line,
but am left uncertain. Can anyone recommend something of that length?

Whilst a child in the UK, I remember playing in air raid shelters, now abandoned. Even though a young fellow, I got the idea. My admiration for all those who served Britain in her time of need is not less than profound. I am enjoying watching the progress. Most methodical.

Thank you for this, I would never have located it on my own. Will enjoy hearing it as I catch up on some MR projects. That
commuter locomotive: what a beautiful piece of engineering and artwork.

Most interesting observations, thank you for that. I stumbled upon the original Playcraft, Joeuf, and I traded up for it on an American Forum. It was in pretty ragged shape, lots of loose mechanical bits and a bit of body damage, but I was most pleased to have it as it brought back many happy memori...

Thanks Josh V, I have a lot of fun with that video editing. I am not talented with computers, having been largely dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Google used to have a free video editing download, that was fairly block head proof, but they got rid of that, and I'm not sure what ...

Great sound effects. Like the surveyor.
