Sounds good to me.

It's a wonderful thing to do- I always get vaguely glammed up and pretend I'm in the past. Then get a bit chilly.

Sounds good, but for an "end of steam" festival they really need to have No. 92220 Evening Star there.

'78 yorkshire puddings me lovey?' (from east lancs railway website, not my pic)

I'd happily scoff the all puddings, and sod the beef!

hyde park christmas didn't really seem to be in full swing, so i'm trying again tomorrow.

I'd be up for this, but we'd have to decide on the details fairly soon, as no doubt tickets sell out fast. I'd be free the whole weekend so don't mind either day.

You're welcome! I've been hammering Photoshop due to this mundane thread, so its always running in the background.

Edit to add - just sorting out the files on my laptop due to the mass-editing exercise this thread has entailed, and I've got 264 photos in the 'to post' folder. Don't know whether I've actually posted all of them, but that's quite a few by any measure! I wonder how many pics there are on this thread in total. The first person to 'like' this post has to count them all.

Oh dear, tufty79 that appears to be you. Well volunteered!

A former Bank of England branch.

They used to live at a Grade I listed building in King Street, but moved to this one in the 70s I think. The back of the building has gates which I gather used to lead to the vaults so bullion could be shipped in easily.

That looks like the pub right by my building, only without the benches.
