Driven Round the Bend. by ladymagpie

Driven Round the Bend.

Firstly, I'm so sorry to make you sit in my fridge yesterday, it must have been cold for you and there wasn't much food in it. At least you must have been happy as you put me on the pp page, Thanks.

This morning I had to take one of my Daughter-in-Laws to the local station to catch a train as she was off on a course for a couple of days. Naturally my camera came along and although everyone thinks I'm mad, I decided to keep on the rails today.

This picture reminded me of when I was young and always messing about, I know I haven't change much there. My Mother would shout out "Stop it, your driving me round the bend". Well she survived to her mid 80's so I didn't quite put her in the mad house.

If my good friend Shane see's this picture, it might have been him in control because not only is he a great photographer but he drives these things as well. BRING BACK THE STEAM TRAINS.

View with the black background.
I think we have all been around that bend, once or twice in our lives.

I need to get out and support the steam trains in my area of the country.

Wonder what the value of the "Last steam on the London Underground" might be? Got it 1971 when I was in London.

I really love the way that the train is " driving round the bend" that was my mothers lament to me when I drove her mad ( she was a northerner and I did drive her round the bend regularly ! )

Now that's a train, not the old ones we have here! Our rail system is in shambles, but hear they are working on a few new lines!!
