Real Life Railway Children



Hermione and I spent a few days in Cumbria a week or so ago. Min was making a short film for her last piece of work for her degree. Trains go past the house a couple of times an hour but none of them are as romantic as this steam train that we waited nervously for on the bridge. It was quite a cloudy day so the steam of the train seemed to suddenly appear from nowhere at the same time as the coal train going the opposite way. It looks amazing in the film which also included cupid heads of ice with roe deer blood in the middle, made by Min, and which would slowly change from bright white to pink to red as they melted in the river near by. Might become a train spotter now I've finished my degree?
