Nothing else to do on Terminals 2 and 3 yet so we are embarked on a massive clear-out and tidy-up. Came upon this delightful photograph of grandsons James (top, between sets of teeth) and Ben at the wonderful Bekonscot model village in Beaconsfield. James is now over six feet tall, measures on the family measuring-stick in the old water tower.
The real reason for recent lack of posts is that we have had I.T. problems. My iPhone simply would not work and furthermore it did not want to have anything to do with my Apple Mac computer. I tried Apple's helpline but found myself in a text message dialogue with a computer which insisted on asking me techy questions I did not understand. They I tried our usual very good helpline Nexus but they could not deal with the problem online via their Team Viewer.
Inspiration then struck. Many months ago a young man in Settle called Felix Packard offered his computer know-how to Settle people. Felix is the son of one of Lorna's contemporaries at Nab Wood Middle School in Bingley. They now live in Settle, via Australia.
Felix's computer business has taken off incredibly, so much so his website opens up with a plea for no more business please! Too busy. Here's Felix:
And this is his website

What a find! Everything fixed. Thank you Felix soooooo much.
The appearance of the Fat Controller on the station platform has caused much amusement - and so too has this picture of Settle station supervisor Paul Brown alongside. The similarity is quite uncanny don't you think?
Meanwhile the line is coming back to life with people - mainly on the non-Northern trains sadly. Here is a very lucky picture of the Staycation Express approaching Appleby as steamer British India Line departs:
Could have been the 1960s, not the 2020s.
And a couple of local Dales images:
