Driving out to Tamar Lake for a walk this morning I saw this blossom tree. Had to stop and take a pix, never seen it look that well before. Even in a morning mist it was spectacular …

Was walking the dog this morning by the railway line and saw a yellow high speed train pass. Have the Dutch invaded or the Parliamentarians re-instated the MP special train in the appropriate colour?

I managed to hold a meeting on this a couple of years ago whilst it was testing.

The track monitoring equipment can take a picture of the track every 8mm at 125mph and has reduced track failures to less than 130 per year compared with over 1000 in the 1990s.

Great bit of kit but the amount of data it collects is phenomenal.
