Inspired by...

...others.

A Sunday morning wander round the villages today and strolled up to Rothley Station as the GCR had its Winter Gala in full swing. I also popped to the ever open hardware shop for one of those thingys that attaches the hose to the tap. 

Lots of steam happening at the station, including the slightly badly composed extra - how old do you reckon it is?

Not as old as you might think.

Main snap was taken looking over the parkland towards Rothley Court, which is as old as it looks.
