Sunday Steam

Britain's oldest working standard gauge steam locomotive, Furness Railway No. 20, will be in steam again tomorrow at Ribble Steam Railway



I am hoping to get some photos tomorrow, as I missed it last time.

The locomotive is visiting Preston to mark the 2012 Preston Guild celebrations, there are a number of events planned for the city this year.



Around the dock, the swans have started building their nest in the same place as last year. The coots have already finished theirs, and it looks a more substantial construction this time. I haven't heard or seen any terns or swallows as yet, if the mild weather continues they may arrive early.
