Down through Dunster Deer Park looking towards Grabbis Hill, then through Dunster Castle Gardens and home for a cuppa.

All 3 pics are fabulous. The bottom two are my favourites. And really amazing ! 🙏

Thanks mate. As I've said before, and not wishing to sound like a mutual admiration society, I always look forward to seeing your "most easterly point" sunrise photos.

It finally stopped raining enough to go for a bike ride!

Beautiful sunny day today, with, briefly, a bank of cloud at sea level, blocking off the view of South Wales.

I was wondering how anyone was expected to read such a tiny sign from the footplate of a passing locomotive. And how do you keep your engine quiet?

Fairly common sign where locomotives were expected to stand near residential buildings. The main way of keeping a stationary steam locomotive quiet would be managing the draught and fire to avoid blowing off, a wasteful phenomenon that was not encouraged under any circumstances. Modern signs presumably do not mention steam.
