Now, as I see it......

Last time I had a walk across Kelling Heath I noticed that at Windpump Crossing they had built an extra bit of fencing and gate which would allow you to get much closer to the track on one side.  I've always thought it would be a good spot for photos but without this extra construction it meant standing on the trackside itself which is not only forbidden but would have caused the driver to stop the train as a safety violation.  The conditions weren't perfect for photography but I had an hour or so to spare this afternoon so had a walk up for a look.  I quite like the angle you can get on the engine without any obstructions so should be good for pictures on cold winter days when the steam is really showing.

A quick wander around the monthly Sunday market in town this morning.  Lots of interesting stalls selling nice things but we ended up buying only a pork pie and a sausage roll.
