This happens every year, nobody is prepared to gather them up.
Man is, by nature, a lazy beast, he does not need twice encouraging to do nothing.

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Shame. We have a huge Bramley tree, we use what we can but probably 90% goes to waste - or the badgers, foxes, deer, rabbits etc. We have pureed apple (nice with pork) by the bottle and a lots of sliced apple in the freezer. No other real way of keeping them. My grandmother used to put them in the air raid shelter, nice even temperature, I can still smell them now.

Re: Picture(s) of the day....Waste not!
Just along from the signalbox a little way past Kirknewton are a few "wild" apple trees in the woodland at the side of the road. When we passed by last month on the way to Kelso, I noticed them and couldnt resist got a decent bagfull or two, small but perfectly sweet eating apples.
Deliberately paid it a visit on Friday because they had run out, got another bagful of the ones that were left on the tree.

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Shame I don't live near your and Peter Eric as I'd very happily gather them up and turn them into pies
Earlier in the year I was a repository for surplus rhubarb... It's now all in my freezer
Waste not, want not!
From today's bike ride...
There is a belief the rather elaborate village sign was built from bricks rescued from a nearby disused railway bridge when it was demolished...
The Northampton to Bedford line ran through the village until the mid '60s and now there is hardly any trace... You have to know it was there and know what to look for... Obliterated...

You are welcome to help yourself Jim but you will need about a 20' ladder to get to the best ones.

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
There was a railway line going along the road into Weymouth harbour when we first came here, I was driving out one day and saw a loco in my rear view mirror, following me.

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Sadly, it's been disused for the past 20-odd years apart from a few specials and is now in the process of being ripped up
It's widely being considered an act of gross vandalism by the town council... Some believe it could have become a big tourist attraction but against that there's massive H and S concerns about operating trains on an open tramway in close proximity to cars and pedestrians...
It was always a bit of a task to clear the tracks of parked cars when the line was operational with boat trains and the train was limited to proceeding at walking place with a guard in front of it with a flag...
The locomotives used for the service could be immediately identified by the big warning bells fitted on their buffer beams

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Thanks for that Jim. This would have been in the '70s and yes there was a man preceding it with a flag. I had no idea it was there until I saw it. There used to be a railway line crossing the road on the east side of bridport too, thats gone now of course as well.
Axminster station had a huge marshalling yard back then as well, they started building a few industrial units on it and you had to walk across the tracks to get to them, tracks all gone now of course including the one that went to Lyme Regis.

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
It looks worse than it is...
No medical attention was needed
I was 'attacked' by an exploding tube of tomato puree whilst cooking a curry
And yes, still in my running kit at 10AM... I'm cycling later so no point in changing three times...
Besides, my running kit is so, so comfy

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
The last 100 posts really have flown by and it's time for a 4500 celebratory picture already. As the numbers climb it is getting harder to find engines to match but 4½ litres is a number ingrained into me from childhood. When I searched for a picture I was inundated with TVR's, Porsches and Toyota Land Cruisers but for me there can only be one car, brought into my life by John Steed:
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!
