Celebrating 185 years since Darfield railway station opened. The station new, the future bright, Bringing new industries into sight, Steam and smoke embrace the sky, Progress rolling, rumbling by, Crowd's gather, wide-eyed and keen, Gasping at this wonderous scene.
The morning of my life, The world was at war, The afternoon passed, Without a flaw, Then the evening arrived, I'm happy with what I saw.
Looking forward to being on duty @DarfieldMuseum tomorrow. We are open 10.00am to 2.00pm. see you there.
Took my photo after the event. Beautiful toasted teacake in The Cottage Kitchen. One of our favourite stops.
Back in Elsecar. Beautiful day. Update on the Ginko tree. It must be 10 feet tall now.
The day breaks The light repairs it, The night falls The dark breaks it.
I’ve not posted much #poetry recently, I’m still writing, but needed to slow down for a bit. Still selling ‘Thoughts on Life’, if anyone would like one. £6.00, including p&p and the £1 to Willow Wood. Happy summertime! 🌼 🌞 #poetrycommunity
The sun rises Like a Yorkshire pudding, The sun sets Like a strawberry jelly.
#thicktrunktuesday The best I could do today. It will be thicker sometime.
Did anyone see News at Ten last night, 17th July. Professor Tim Whittlestone was on the news. Another great Darfield lad. I think he was the first pupil from Darfield Foulstone to gain a place at Cambridge University.
A huge crowd at @darfieldmuseum to hear @ianmcmillan and Andrew Brooks.
Mining artefacts and ancient technology explained so well by @KenBrookes2 in @DarfieldMuseum.@IMcMillan
Back on duty at the museum and the cake is ready. We are open between 10.00am and 2.00pm.
The silence of the evening, Broken by a lonely rook, Whilst out walking, with the aid, Of my shepherd's crook.
