List of all posts. November 20, 2010. Kashmir Goats, Great Orme. 5333257 N, 3.85232 W.

The Great Orme cable cars run for over a mile from Happy Valley up to the summit, and the cars are carried by a single loop of cable. The aerial cabin lift was built in 1969 and is the longest in the UK. Great Orme’s Head. Pingback: Gre...

Living simply in an over-complicated world. August 13, 2015 in Bakfiets. Bakfiets being a skip for the day. One of the jobs I’d been planning to do for some time was clearing out the cellar, in particular the smaller sized bikes which are lurking in every corner. Of course the appearance of Beautiful Daughter means the bikes need to remain in place for a while longer; not that I’m complaining, I hasten to add. Expatriate life is full of glamour.

Living simply in an over-complicated world. August 7, 2015 in woodwork. It is hotter here than in Japan where my Beautiful Wife and family are, so hot in fact that I wore shorts yesterday. Conscious of my responsibilities to society I refrained from anything shorter than 3/4 length. Meanwhile, I’m getting lessons in woodcarving. When I helped build a stage. A couple of weeks ago, we agreed that in lieu of payment* I’d get some training in woodcarving from one of the artists. Kid in a sweet shop. Bike fac...

Losing Track: A mooch around Port Penrhyn
http://therailwaymuddler.blogspot.com/2014/07/a-mooch-around-port-penrhyn.html
A mooch around Port Penrhyn. These days, however, no gilded "four in-hands" roll up to the gates of the castle, nor do delightful narrow gauge trains chuff on to the quayside. Today, the scene is changed almost beyond recognition from the photographs of a century ago. Yet, there are still many reminders among the yachts that have colonised the quaysides, or the loudly painted Mussel Dredgers, that line up like accidental bunting. The old Penrhyn railway loco shed. More photos on my Flickr stream here.
