Big Boys Toys

After yesterdays impressionistic study of the Lavender fields a return to reality.
Day spent in the Forest of Dean during which I visited the Dean Forest Railway.

As usual wherever there is a steam railway there are 'anoraks' expounding the values of steam to their good ladies. " See. That flange is horizontal on this engine whereas on the one we saw yesterday it was vertical." Glassy eyed she nods - all the time wondering when she can get him to leave so she can get in the refreshment room out of the 30 degree heat.
