• ( Balance or fall over)

      Not so much about railway stuff, But Humans could reach the better fruits or berries if to stand upright on their plates of meat! But better to walk than to crawl I spose? Firing a steam engine at speed would flex hips and knee’s to keep your feet glued to the cab floor! ‘Its amazing’, To be pitched and tossed about at great speed, But to balance and not fall! For me walking started too early to remember! But to balance and to ride a push bike then (I was a kid of eight years)! The elderly man and wife had me for my long school holidays! The elderly ‘Gent’ owned a Shipping company! Had the latest Land Rover back in 1951, And an old Gents pushbike! ”Learn to ride that” he says! So I did! But came so many croppers! I fell hard several times! But eventually rode their driveway of about 2 miles to the nearest road! I could already ride a horse, But now a bike! Now I look to some of his ships! Lots of Granges? Oswestry grange is a place rather than a building? (Its like the GW Castles! And others he sold to Royal Mail line which would be the Merchant Navy 35003 (As i am an ex Southern fireman)! but carry the fleet name rather than the individual ships name? So many ships that its a nightmare? Mind you, It keeps the brain active! I’ve not got dementia yet? But then again I don’t know where this story ends? Maybe just lose my balance and fall over! The end!! PS, I should of gone for the Southern ‘Bulleid’ Squadrons? So many airfields for Spitfire, Hurricane etc! Or Bristol or Thornberry GW Castles? I do so like a Castle! I do enclose a picture my new Electric Bike! Best thing since sliced bread!! I do rabbit on so!
