Feeling warmed with emotions after Holly and I finally got married, and to have celebrated it with so many people we love. π€
Thank you all for your well wishes, and ESPECIALLY to everyone who helped us on the day...

It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the departure of the wonderful Pendre cat, Eric.
Affectionately known as "The Boss", Eric was a regular fixture at Pendre - carrying out morning inspections of the running shed, loco office and mess room to make sure everything was running smoothly

As BlueSky has just hit 20mil users, we thought we'd introduce ourselves!
We're the Talyllyn Railway - running from Tywyn on the Welsh Coast up into the mountains towards Abergynolwyn & Nant Gwernol.
In 1951 we became the World's First Preserved #Railway, starting the Heritage Railway movement!
