Pickering & Grosmont

A few more hours spent watching the awesome steam locomotives on the (NYMR) North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

Good and friendly conversations with the volunteer staff - who are a credit to the line.

And again we were blessed with a wonderful sunny day.

NYMR - Pickering

Another day at Pickering. The 'Continental Market' was on that day, but unimpressed and the prices were high too.

Thankfully we could still spend some time at the heritage railway.

Levisham Station

 We always really enjoy a visit to this wonderful NYMR station.

Due to the prolonged dry spell there is a high risk of fire on the moors from the steam locomotives.

So a diesel hauls from Goathland to Levisham for safety.

This gives an opportunity to photograph with a steam and diesel loco at each end of the train.

Scarborough

 An enforced day in Scarborough.

Car problems on the way down resulted in a new radiator being fitted.

Another gorgeous day with the sun beating down made it warm - but pleasant.

Night is Day - Film Shoot

Well the morning session was securing footage of Elaine C Smith's scene, and this turned out to be both interesting and enjoyable. Elaine was fantastic to work with, which made for a fine morning.

After a long break we headed to the Botanic Gardens for some fight scenes which lasted till after 22:00 making this a very full (and enjoyable) day.

Who said filming would be easy :-)

'Night is Day' - Filming Day Two

The second (and longer) day of filming this weekend.

Early (enough) start at 10:00 with a late finish of about 21:00.

So a long - but rewarding - day with the benefit of having Simon Weir and Colin McCredie with many TV credits to their name.

Also lucky to get a shot of an old abandoned Volkswagen Beetle in the lane we were shooting the final scene of the day.
