Better still.... the moving version of City of Wells 34092 (Golden Arrow) passing the window of High Mill Pickering on 02 Apr 2019. Sadly, the A4 pacific Union of South Africa had a major problem (piston broke - I... https://t.co/NoZfzImVz9

Just outside the windows of High Mill Pickering, 34092 City of Wells (Golden Arrow) gets the NYMR season under way in style.

The old wall below High Mill had developed a major list to starboard and was rebuilt in 2018. Once the props had been removed from behind it, it took quite some effort to demolish one end! https://t.co/U0dQvHATDM

Happy New Year everyone. We're past the shortest day now and the spring bulbs have started pushing through. That meant I spent half a day yesterday shifting the builders yard and leftovers - about 2 tons of... https://t.co/pZgltCvsdr

Lovely old film of the NYMR opening by the Duchess of Kent in 1973. It was actually running before that to High Mill halt, a temporary platform just up the line from us, as the station was inaccessible at that time. The council wanted to demolish it! https://t.co/0AEqFmp7L3

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas - happy smiling faces of the little uns passing on NYMR's Santa Specials. Who knows, perhaps our Alice will appreciate a little spin next year? Hayley and Lian have already put the decs up. Way too early for us.

12 day of Christmas at Castle Howard. Rather spectacular.

UFO, War of the World, or Pink Floyd remaking The Wall?

Flood, ecosystem and water quality management on the cheap. Not long now until Beavers are back in our part of North Yorkshire. All wins if managed correctly.... and good for tourism too. Come and see them.... https://t.co/qBivLMUfs2

While cleaning today, I found someone had left their emergency rations in a drawer in High Mill House - a Wagon Wheel. Result. If anyone wants to claim the empty wrapper, let me know quickly before it goes in the bin 😛

A little staff outing to Macbeth, Rose Theatre, York, 13 August. Three witches: "When shall we three meet again; in thunder, lightning, or in rain". Bugger me, those three witches were better at forecasting than the Met Office.

No surprise really (not to us anyway). Four local towns in the top 10 staycation places - Pickering, Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. Best bet is obviously... https://t.co/6aEz1SlvND

Maaaaaaaaa! Don't leave me here on my own. Where am I? Don't worry, Lambie's being herded back home.

What a lovely warm sunny wedding day for our guests at High Mill. Our best wishes to Fiona and Nigel for a happy future together. Sadly, between the two of us and a couple of attempts, this is the only remotely worthwhile photo of their NYMR reception.

It's a busy weekend in Ryedale. The Tour de Yorkshire will be zipping through on Saturday at about 3.35pm. I'll be Tourmaking at the Pickering Sprint outside the Sun Inn again (a repeat of 3 year ago), but... https://t.co/7HbFJBdvRO
