Friday Photos: Off the Rails
Just a few photos to round off the week…
We discovered this little “abandoned” railway station a couple of weeks ago while we were out walking with my parents, and I made a mental note to come back and take some photos. It’s not technically “abandoned” (it just looks it) - it’s the home of a little tourist railway that runs along the river to the weir you just see in the background of the photo above. And it was all Autumnal and pretty, so even although my nose was redder than Rudolph’s by the time we left, it was still worth a quick visit.
“Never play on the railway tracks,” my mum always told me. Whoops.
(It’s OK, mum, the train wasn’t running at the time.)
(Still, don’t try this at home, kids…)
“And when a train goes by, it’s such a sad sound…”
(Sorry, I came over all emo, there…)

Hope everyone has a good weekend! I will be wearing my lame-ass Halloween “costume”, and reassuring myself with the fact that everyone will be too busy looking at Terry to notice me anyway. What will you be doing?

November 6, 2010 at 12:46 pm (924 days ago)I actually hadn’t even seen the train until a couple of weeks ago – I had started to believe it was an urban myth! It is a lovely area, though, I run through it quite a lot!

November 6, 2010 at 12:45 pm (924 days ago)Thanks, I’ve been loving the colours this year – so pretty, it almost makes up for cold. Almost.

For some reason if I look at your blog using Firefox, I can only see the Marilyn Monroe entry with lots and lost of white above it, the last two posts are missing. On Internet Explorer everything looks ok. Strange.

November 5, 2010 at 7:08 pm (925 days ago)Thanks for letting me know – I’ll get Terry to have a look at it!

Amber
November 6, 2010 at 12:45 pm (924 days ago)If only you could see it right now, in it’s attractive bed-head state!

Amber
November 6, 2010 at 12:40 pm (924 days ago)To tell the truth, it’s taken me many years to find anything to like about it either – in fact, it was really only this summer when I started exploring on foot that I discovered a few little random spots of beauty: they are very well hidden, though! If you were just working here, or driving through, all you’d ever see would be a late-60s, grey, urban sprawl!
Christina
November 6, 2010 at 2:38 pm (924 days ago)love these photos, and your outfit, especially the way your hair goes with the boots and bag (btw, where’s the bag from?)
Amber
November 8, 2010 at 12:24 pm (922 days ago)It was from Miss Selfridge!

November 8, 2010 at 9:34 pm (922 days ago)Don’t worry, your “train goes by” comment was a Smiths quote (from Nowhere Fast – Meat Is Murder album), and as such, safely predates anything emo…
Amber
November 8, 2010 at 9:36 pm (922 days ago)I know, it was a deliberate Smiths reference
