My trusty little Olympus and its coterie sees me into another year of photography. Hopefully I can last the course this time; I got derailed by hats of all things!

Dunstable Town
The line connected East and West Coast mainlines passing through Luton and Dunstable. The station closed in 1965 but the line lingered on over many years for freight traffic. It "reopened" in 2013 as part of the guided busway to Luton.

This is north of Birmingham and was closed to passengers in 1965. The freight only line reopened to passengers in 1989 but a new station nearby, Landywood, opened rather than reopen this one.

Strange sign on turning off today's vehicle; should I expect people to spontaneously appear in the back of the car?!

Sorting a schedule to get here when there are trains using this platform has been an issue since it opened in May!

Garbage In - Compost Out

Two of my three compost bins, a simple way to recycle garden waste into free soil.

A chance to use my fish-eye lens from inside an electricity pylon.

bee-dy eye

A carder bee at very close range! I found this one sadly demised on the patio.

Littleton [and] Badsey

Another double-named station not in either village. The line is still open as you can see and some platform footings remain visible out to the side of the loco.
The tithe barn is some 800 years old and one of the best of its kind in the country.

BUNNY BISCUIT!🤯

That's clearly the spaceman we never quite got to know well enough filling his helmet with a mix of blood and brain matter.

Enjoy kids!
