You see, I've been away on the annual "give mother a rest" camping sojourn to the North York Moors with my kids who are exquisitely attuned to the passing of day and night.
At home we interfere in this diurnal influence by way of blackout curtains and double glazing. In a tent however, with two gossamer layers, the chimps stir at daybreak at the same time the sheep start to honk their non-baa baa's.
Ordinarily we all go to sleep at the same time on these trips. This damned book however, kept me up into the wee hours, bloody thing. Anyway, I'm back now and settled on the couch for a little light blogging whilst my rested wife cooks dinner for us all.
The highlight of our break was catching the steam train from Pickering and spending the day hopping on and off to Whitby and back. The sprogs enjoyed the clackety-clack. I enjoyed exploring the quiet rotting areas behind the stations and engine sheds where age old machinery returns slowly to the earth.

We appear to have a common interest in age old machinery (see my Friday Post. Excellent pics, love the colours on the shed photo which I assume you havent messed about with?
Thanks Grocer. I've inherited the interest from my engineer Dad (though not the aptitude unfortunately).
The shed pic was mucked about with a bit - though really only the contrast. The shed's yellow is pretty much represented accurately.
