Steaming out of Kings Cross

Yesterday morning the Bittern departed from Kings Cross station. A rare sight from a train that retired in 1967.

A brief post as I am racing to catch a plane. Over the next couple of weeks I may not have time to visit you but will do my best to leave you a picture.

Skywatch Friday - Steaming up the Thames

The 100 year old President is a lovingly restored steam engine canal boat. During its heyday a unique and fast way to transport goods by canal. Canal boats during that time were drawn by horse alongside the canal. Hence the tow-paths that we walk and cycle along now.
Here President is steaming up the Thames to part take in the Henley Regatta this weekend.
