Puffing Billy, Selby

And then I hopped into my car quickly to try and get past all the buses and tourists also at the bridge to get to the crossing near my home in Selby. I knew the tourists weren’t heading there but I had to be on the road before they were just to get there in time.

This crossing is literally up the hill on my street.

And after the crossing

Puffing Billy, Belgrave

Yesterday I deliberately went to collect my mail later so I could co-incide my trip home with the passing of the Puffing Billy.  These are some shots of the steam train as it travels on the trestle bridge in Belgrave, Victoria.

And on the bridge

Shades of Autumn

The colours are getting stronger.

‘Shall I or shan’t I?’ he must be thinking.  He knew I was watching him with this long black thing in front of my face.

Christmas in our street

Here’s a small selection of houses that have been decorated for Christmas.  They’re not the best pics and one of the house has spoiled it by having bins out front (it’s not collection day) but it will give you a bit of an idea of what people do here.  We just have a tree blinking in the window at our home.

Thank you for your readership and encouragement this year and I hope that you have a great Christmas surrounded by people who mean a lot to you. May it be a safe holiday season for you also.
