Mallard retired in about 1963 I think so it is visits only for the enthusiast.

Thanks Coco, for that info on the Mallard, I have heard of the Flying Scotsman!
Lol Hamsterita at Mallard being a duck, that I knew too!
Rads, you weren't being mean. That's some world record for 79 years ago and it being still today.
Sometimes you hear about history being brought back to life and get to see it in the now. Seems a shame she's in the railway museum and not out in the open.

Oh TL she was out she was at Grantham had been out from the National Railway Museum in York for a few days the other year it was a great sight to see out where she belongs on a track not in a big posh shed..

Rads, did you go and see The Flying Scotsman on her famous run last year? We had to be content with the tv programme they did which was still interesting, but not the same.
Good wishes for your shoulder surgery in a week. Just practice your left handed typing!

You're doing great for one arm Rads!
Love the clematis & vinca shots.

Thanks Cypher and Hamsterita
LOL at Hamsterita not tried using my teeth just yet.....
I am taking the weight of the camera with my left arm/hand but still have to use my right hand to fire the AF and Shutter which gets a bit sore as can only just get my right arm to 90 degrees to my shoulder, I must look very wonky when I am shooting..
Those shots where all done with my Canon EOS 7D and 150mm f2.8 macro lens which is my must difficult lens to use and the heaviest set up I have but the results are awesome..

These really are gorgeous! I love the colours.

Great pics, it's nice to see some colour again after the Winter Must be frustrating wanting to take pictures and knowing you have to take it easy.
