One of the things ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dougalsservant and I decided we should do on our holiday was travel on the famous Settle to Carlisle railway line. This line travels through some beautiful scenery, over viaducts and through tunnels - but was threatened, some years ago with closure.
We finally got to do this on our last day, after the visit to the falconry centre. We decided not to travel all the way to Carlisle, but to do the most scenic part of the line and travel as far as Appleby, and then get the next down train, about ten minutes later, back to Settle. Although it didn't quite work out like that...
( stations, views, and a viaduct )
In other news, we celebrated S2C's birthday with chocolate cake before he went to bed for the day - yes, he was at work last night, and is at work tonight.
And in even more other news I have been viciously kicked by a plot bunny. I am currently writing short pieces, set in the Returnverse, using the Schmoop bingo prompts. Except that I woke up about 3 am on Sunday morning with an almost complete Lord of the Rings fic screaming itself at me - and like Pure Morning it is insisting that I write it, the whole thing is sitting in my brain and refusing to let me write anything else. And it starts with me killing off one of my favourite characters! But I am going to have to write it...
