York Railway Museum

I’ve had these photos sat for a while now as we visited not too long after my Grandad died. My Grandad loved trains and his particular favourite was the Mallard which sits pride of place in the museum.

Its been over 7 years since my Grandad died now - which offends me so much - and I still get those punches in the stomach of devastating loss regularly. More so when we do activities I know he just would have loved doing with my nephews and definitely when both boys get so excited about trains. I know they’re little and kids love trains, but I like the idea that interests like that can be in the blood sometimes.

London Town

We recently spent a few days in London and I was reminded of the last time I was there with my lovely blog friend Dawn and some of the last film photos I took with her there.

I actually can’t remember when this was now - but meeting Dawn was just the best thing ever!

Getting to know each other at Kirkstall Abbey

Its a bit strange sharing photos from my new camera when I haven’t actually taken any photos with it since December… Winter + myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) are not the one my friends, so I’ve been hibernating as much as I can - I do however have plans for this camera with a week in London very soon (eep) Should I get another memory card?! Oh boy I havent had to worry about this before. How fun!

Anyway… one thing I did do when it wasnt as cold and I could brave the external air was take my new bestie camera to the local abbey for some experimenting and ‘getting to know you’ photos. If you’ve been hanging around a while, you’ve probably already seen photos of the Abbey on here - but theres always new thing to see right!

Overall I’m pleased with these for a first visit to the abbey - I tried to find new things to spot but I also think I ended up taking very similar shots to ones I’ve taken before, just to see what happened.
