NYMR Grosmont Station

Another day enjoying the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR)

Grosmont is an ideal station as there is always plenty of activity, out with the normal traffic.

There is also the workshops and shop to give added things to do.

Misty - and Her Partial Walk Tonight

Poor Misty, started her walk over the field but the cows were again present tonight - and why not.

So we headed in the other direction so as not to disturb them.

But they had other ideas and seemed to want to join in with us.

Getting brave they started running towards myself and Misty so we retreated back to our own wee garden.

But these guys were determined to be part of the game.

Misty's Walk

Taking Misty for her last walk of the day wasn't quite so straightforward.

The cows were peering over the 'stile' in to our back garden.

Went back for my camera but missed the best shot, but sure you'll get the picture.

They ambled off, and Misty got her well deserved walk after showing great patience.

PS Waverley Departs the Clyde

After a long delay in preparation the PS Waverley finally departed Greenock and headed down to the Bristol Channel.

It was a pretty miserable evening with the rain persisting, but at least she's now up and running for the remainder of the season - God willing.
