Much posher than the Rocket and it had a boiler test certificate.<br />The Scousers most likely kept pinching bits.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-65415760407603419732012-08-25T08:34:41.518+01:002012-08-25T08:34:41.518+01:00The Welsh in me wants to claim the Mumbles railway...The Welsh in me wants to claim the Mumbles railway as the first passenger train. The Liverpool in me wants to claim the Liverpool and Manchester service - for a scheduled service it was. Both were firsts in their own way but I'd have to Google it to be reminded exactly why. I'm not a railway enthusiast as such but, having been born a couple of hundred yards from The Rocket (which was so named because it was where Stevenson's Rocket disposed of William Huskisson), I have always had a certain proprietorial interest in that particular railway. So my vote for your photo offerings on this post go to the railway line.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-41379325505668513642012-08-24T19:30:05.652+01:002012-08-24T19:30:05.652+01:00Ta John.

I found some growing at a local reservoir the other day. The book I had, named it as Amphibious Bistort. Looking on the net, it appears to be one and the same plant; just the prefix is different.<br /><br />Enjoyed that video. My type of humour at times .......... basic. :-)holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-85743324212449812952012-08-23T22:05:38.046+01:002012-08-23T22:05:38.046+01:00Looks like you've made a really nice move.

It would be great to not have to be weighed down by the whole "settling down, getting a job, buying a house bit".
