What I find totally mind blowing is if this series, All the Stations, had been produced by the BBC, the only difference would be cost. Production values would be little different, but the number of hours produced must equate to millions of pounds in BBC budgeting terms.
neatodd if it was BBC, there would be half a carriage full of crew. Has the series suffered without? Has it hell - 21st century documentary filmmaking at its blistering best 😀🍾🎥
They would probably, like you, also forget to mention that Transpennine Express has the youngest fleet in Britain, and that hundreds of new carriages for Scotrail, Northern, Transpennine and Merseyrail are on order.
This is true for every episode, but I just want to emphasise again how much I'm enjoying this series. A great railway and travel documentary that would give Michael Portillo a run for his money. Beautifully shot as always, but of course it wouldn't be the same without the two great hosts who guide us through each step of this adventure. I think I can say this on behalf of most people watching: thank you for embarking on this trip for us.
You missed Achnashellach station. Perhaps because it's a request stop? Maybe you'll visit on the request stop vlogs? But hey, what you and Vicki achieved is wonderful. Thank you.
My missus and I have enjoyed this series better than most TV programmes...we've religiously been watching the latest episodes over dinner! If you guys don't get snapped up by the BBC for a series, I'll be really surprised. Great job Geoff and Vicky.
You definitely came prepared for a typical Scottish summer. The Glenfinnan Viaduct is one of most beautiful sights in the whole of Scotland if not the UK.
I've got it, what Geoff and Vicki can do next! All the Nations! They visit ever single country on earth and Vicki rates them for quaintness. And castles.
I'm going on the Jacobite Stream Train for my birthday in December and seeing it in this video has made me unbelievably exciting! I'm glad you enjoyed Scotland, I have lived here for 20 years for and it still amazes me!
Brian_D Yes, you always "take your chances" with the weather up there!! Fortunately I've done both the West Highland Line and the Kyle Line in brilliant sunshine, I had to have several attempts though!!
Ian Mcclavin if you take the west highland line in the winter, the snow is amazing between rannoch and corrour. I live in Fort William and have to travel every year. It’s beautiful.
You probably know this by now but one of the viaducts you crossed in this episode (Loch nan Uamh Viaduct) before Arisaig has now got a plaque on it commemorating a dead working horse and cart which fell into a collumn during construction and the workers just left it and encased it in concrete. it was local legends for decades but only proved at the turn of the century.
That drone shot. I know there are dozens of other people saying the same thing, but there aren't enough words to say how wonderful and fortuitously timed that drone shot was.
Hello There, this is a great video, it looks like a very scenic route, thank you for sharing this, it's much appreciated, I am glad you had a good time and that you both enjoyed yourselves. Cheers Peter :)
Last year I took the train from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh and I totally recommend it, astonishing throughout the whole 2 and a half hour of the journey. And I was especially lucky to get a sunny day and see all the landscape in autumn colours.
Dan: immediately saw your cutting style, great work… audio track matched beautifully. Your mastery gave the show robustness and richer content. Remarkable Package (!!)
The Kyle Of Lochalsh line in Febuary is so stunning, snow covers all over the mountains and it's like I was transported to Canada, it's my favourite train journey so far.
All the scenery is beautiful. Especially the viaduct scene. Scotland is a beautiful country. While serving in the U.S. Navy I spent some time in the country.
You are right Geoff that's beautiful and your them music on the piano accompanies it very well, I could wath/list to that all day, well done and thank you :-)
Funny that you should mention about the Caramel Wafers because my cousin has returned to the UK this summer from Bangkok, Thailand. He left about 13 years ago to go work in China but managed to get a job working at a school in Bangkok and he met a Thai woman who he married and has now separated from but joining him in Scotland is their 7 year old daughter Ellie and she's just getting used to the UK and Scotland but of course what's one of her favourite things? You've guessed it, Tunnocks Caramel Wafers. So, I can understand Geoff's reaction to Vicky's suggestion about the taxi driver helping himself to their TCWs.
Corrour is a special place. Lovely walk or run [when younger] round Loch Ossian, but be careful of nearby bogs [I know and was left wearing a pair of Scottish boxers on the station.
When I was on the line to Kyle 10 years ago, it was rainy too. Its probably been raining ever since. 🙂 loved that journey as an American tourist to Skye. Most beautiful rail line over there. Rob
Aye, no doubt...best video of the series! The drone shot of the viaduct, the scenery...it brings me back a wonderful bunch of awesome memories from my road trips around Scotland!! :-) Thanks guys for the amazing documentary! ^-^
Hello Geoff and Vicki from an Australian "trainspotter" !!! I'm so looking forward to seeing all this first-hand in August! Thanks for your #allthescottishstations series - it's a big help to my planning!!! :-) :-)
I actually visited all these lines a few years ago while covering Scotland on a Freedom of Scotland ticket! You’re quite right to say that the scenery is ‘spectacular’, although I enjoyed slightly better weather conditions than your goodselves!
Really lovely video. I've travelled most of the line to Wick/Thurso but never done any of the lines in the North West of Scotland. It's clear I've been missing out! It looks such a wonderful journey that I must do it. Interesting diversion over to Skye, too. I do find that sleeper service quite interesting. A through train from London but it suddenly becomes a local service once it gets into northern Scotland. I do wonder, is this line the only one you can get directly on a train in London all year round that stops somewhere by request? The only other ones I can think of are the summer-only London Paddington to Pembroke services which I think also stop by request at some of the smaller stations like Saundersfoot.
Freeze frame at Stromferry and you can see the house we stayed in recently with a whole load of my family. A truly stunning area. Plockton, which you can see briefly on the journey, was amazing and so quaint, and you can rent the railway station building as a guest house!
You said it was the most scenic line in the UK, my favourite scenic line is the one from Abertawe/ Swansea to Porthladd Abergwaun/ Fishguard Harbour. That dry landscape is fantastic.
Hate to see this series move toward the end run. Thank you for sharing your adventure with the world. Looking forward to even better things in the future.
such a pity we no longer have the only railway in the Hebrides (a 3-stop run single track, micro-gauge, Craignour Ferry Terminal to Duart-Castle Gardens)
I needed to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five car per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train station so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 37 Octagon and Every 17 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 142MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 142MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 17 Tonnes for all of those 142MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!!! And please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
6:15 you should have filmed the banavie swing bridge. Whenever a boat is coming down the canal and needs to pass under the bridge, the controller has to call scotrail and see if there is a train coming. In addition, it has a 5mph speed limit. A tv show called the biggest little railway is airing on channel 4 in 2018
thought this is the best place to ask: when you flag down the sleeper in Corrour, can you travel with an interrail pass? it doesnt show up on any rail planning apps
Ive done both the Ft William to Mallaig and the Localsh to Inverness, and I think the former just edges it in beauty. It may be down the fact I've done the Localsh line more than a dozen times. I've also had to be picked up at Inverness by my dad because of flooding and/or rock falls!
Love, love, LOVED it! Would've liked to have seen more request stops though. Surprised someone got on at Lochluichart. I would've thought Duncraig or Attadale would've been more likely to be stopped at than Lochluichart. Considering the castle and gardens.
I love Geoff's railway. Take a ride behind a heavy freight Class 60 up the West Highland Line any time you want. You may be travelling in Coal Hopper Class though...
Lovely isn’t it? Ride my Mountainbike from Stonehaven thru Balder and Inverness to Fort William and get the train there to Edinburgh Haymarket. Greetings from across the pond. (The Netherlands) Johan
Ha ha thanks for the Pilning mention at Achnasheen, I’d missed that before, We holiday in Plockton Station, May this year if we’re allowed and love that route but I also film trains at Pilning (we’re in Yate, which didn’t get a mention, how about coming back.....?). Much love both TonyS
When the guard on the Caledonian Sleeper asked where you were travelling to you should have said.........all the stations!
Innit!
4:54 Amazing shot of the viaduct. You must have the longest selfie-stick ever.
Drone
Jeff Ducklin joke
Jeff Ducklin r/wooooosh
@Clifford Quiney
Who are you calling a drone?!
What I find totally mind blowing is if this series, All the Stations, had been produced by the BBC, the only difference would be cost. Production values would be little different, but the number of hours produced must equate to millions of pounds in BBC budgeting terms.
Easy way to tell it's not the BBC - If it had been the BBC there would be a constant music track.
neatodd if it was BBC, there would be half a carriage full of crew. Has the series suffered without? Has it hell - 21st century documentary filmmaking at its blistering best 😀🍾🎥
Keith Spillett And a voice-over narrator trying to add dramatic tension to every scene.
TheSharkLord by the south you mean London, south west still only have pacers, we only just get over 2 carriages
They would probably, like you, also forget to mention that Transpennine Express has the youngest fleet in Britain, and that hundreds of new carriages for Scotrail, Northern, Transpennine and Merseyrail are on order.
This is true for every episode, but I just want to emphasise again how much I'm enjoying this series. A great railway and travel documentary that would give Michael Portillo a run for his money. Beautifully shot as always, but of course it wouldn't be the same without the two great hosts who guide us through each step of this adventure. I think I can say this on behalf of most people watching: thank you for embarking on this trip for us.
I'm loving revisitng these Scotland episodes.
The trains, the ferry, the scenery, the people, Geoff and Vicki, Scotland, the weather. Best episode yet.
PS piano music hits you right in the feels
The viaduct shot, absolutely beautiful, whoever got that oh my god you legend.
Geoff uses a REEEALLY long selfie stick that extends many feet into the air.
Nerdy Mr Nardy and that folks, is what we call GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY FOR THE BACKERS! (OK shouty PB moment over).😀
I rode the train from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh. This video brought back some good memories.
Vicki s face at the start when Geoff asks about a birthday present. ...priceless. She has such an expressive face.
Oh that drone shot of the Jacobite on the Glenfinnan is wonderful, superb work.
You missed Achnashellach station. Perhaps because it's a request stop? Maybe you'll visit on the request stop vlogs?
But hey, what you and Vicki achieved is wonderful. Thank you.
Gonna watch these all over again..Last time was 17
The music for this whole series deserves an award. Spectacular.
My missus and I have enjoyed this series better than most TV programmes...we've religiously been watching the latest episodes over dinner! If you guys don't get snapped up by the BBC for a series, I'll be really surprised. Great job Geoff and Vicky.
3:24 There's a steam train and you're getting a taxi, is something wrong with you two?
4:55 OK, I take that back!
You definitely came prepared for a typical Scottish summer.
The Glenfinnan Viaduct is one of most beautiful sights in the whole of Scotland if not the UK.
I liked this film so much I forgot to press like until I watched it again, cheerio!
I've got it, what Geoff and Vicki can do next! All the Nations! They visit ever single country on earth and Vicki rates them for quaintness. And castles.
AndreiTupolev Even North Korea
And the local Pacers ofcourse!
I think they may struggle to find castles in Nauru and the Maldives 😀
Sadly there are a few nations that are just too dangerous to step foot in.
Errrr...maybe...wars?
I'm going on the Jacobite Stream Train for my birthday in December and seeing it in this video has made me unbelievably exciting! I'm glad you enjoyed Scotland, I have lived here for 20 years for and it still amazes me!
Even more stunning. Ace dronage!
Fantastisch video again! Can't believe this is going to end soon...
Brilliant in every way - Scotland is such a beautiful country even when the weather isn't the best.
Brian_D Yes, you always "take your chances" with the weather up there!! Fortunately I've done both the West Highland Line and the Kyle Line in brilliant sunshine, I had to have several attempts though!!
Ian Mcclavin if you take the west highland line in the winter, the snow is amazing between rannoch and corrour. I live in Fort William and have to travel every year. It’s beautiful.

That drone shot. I know there are dozens of other people saying the same thing, but there aren't enough words to say how wonderful and fortuitously timed that drone shot was.
What a view at the end !!! 😍💕
Spot the jakey on the bicycle, can of open stella in hand.
Love corrur wish to go there dream station lovely commenta
I'm loving these Scottish episodes. The Highlands are so beautiful, even when it rains.
...which is a good thing given how much it does so! (One of the places I grew up was Lochcarron. That line is very special.)
Hello There, this is a great video, it looks like a very scenic route, thank you for sharing this, it's much appreciated, I am glad you had a good time and that you both enjoyed yourselves. Cheers Peter :)
It just proves that with care man can improve nature. Without the viaduct it would just be another glen. With it, the scene is spectacular.
I get the impression that Vicki is falling in love with Scotland.
Last year I took the train from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh and I totally recommend it, astonishing throughout the whole 2 and a half hour of the journey. And I was especially lucky to get a sunny day and see all the landscape in autumn colours.
Dan: immediately saw your cutting style, great work… audio track matched beautifully. Your mastery gave the show robustness and richer content. Remarkable Package (!!)
4:54, the drone shot of the series. The Jacobite on the Glenfinnan. That's what I wanted to see. Well done guys, well done!
Great Ambassadors for Scottish Tourist Board. Fantastic journey of Great Britain.
Incredible scenery throughout. The shot and drone footage of Glenfinnan Viaduct were astounding. And I saw 45212 on its way to Grosmont last week.
That drone shot over the viaduct was something to behold. Splendid work showing it off in all its grandeur!
Great episode! The steam train on the viaduct is the winning scene, but, then, I like steam and engineering.
The Kyle Of Lochalsh line in Febuary is so stunning, snow covers all over the mountains and it's like I was transported to Canada, it's my favourite train journey so far.
Good stuff. Thank you for doing this for the benefit of all. A++
Centuries ago I trod those paths too.
Gorgeous even on a grey day! I hold hope I can still get to Scotland.
All the scenery is beautiful. Especially the viaduct scene. Scotland is a beautiful country. While serving in the U.S. Navy I spent some time in the country.
You are right Geoff that's beautiful and your them music on the piano accompanies it very well, I could wath/list to that all day, well done and thank you :-)
The best episode of the best documentary series in the history of the audio-visual arts, and all on the lowest of all budgets!
Scotland is mind blowing! Love the drone shot 5:11
Funny that you should mention about the Caramel Wafers because my cousin has returned to the UK this summer from Bangkok, Thailand. He left about 13 years ago to go work in China but managed to get a job working at a school in Bangkok and he met a Thai woman who he married and has now separated from but joining him in Scotland is their 7 year old daughter Ellie and she's just getting used to the UK and Scotland but of course what's one of her favourite things?
You've guessed it, Tunnocks Caramel Wafers.
So, I can understand Geoff's reaction to Vicky's suggestion about the taxi driver helping himself to their TCWs.

Beautiful scenery and it just gets better and better !
Long dark winter evenings … mainstream tv not very entertaining … so nice to dip back into “All the stations”
Glorious - it's stunning even in rubbish weather! (We were up in Scotland that week and the weather was sometimes 'trying') but it didn't matter!
Absolutely brilliant,am loving this,i just want to get off at one of the stations and disappear into the wilderness,my soul needs it!
Just when you think it can't get any better 😉 when I'm next in Uk I'll have to take the train to Scotland 👍the stations are so beautiful
Hello Geoff and Vicki from an Australian "trainspotter" !!! I'm so looking forward to seeing all this first-hand in August! Thanks for your #allthescottishstations series - it's a big help to my planning!!! :-) :-)
This might be the best of the whole series. Fantastic!
I recognized so much of the scenery from my trip three months ago. It felt like it was yesterday :)
I actually visited all these lines a few years ago while covering Scotland on a Freedom of Scotland ticket! You’re quite right to say that the scenery is ‘spectacular’, although I enjoyed slightly better weather conditions than your goodselves!
Interesting to see the Ye Old Virgin Trains colours on the last carriage.
Vicki's comment at the end is spot on.
This might literally be the best cold open of them all
Another fantastic video. That drone shot was just brilliant
Staggeringly beautiful scenery. Another fantastic video! Well done!
Really lovely video. I've travelled most of the line to Wick/Thurso but never done any of the lines in the North West of Scotland. It's clear I've been missing out! It looks such a wonderful journey that I must do it. Interesting diversion over to Skye, too. I do find that sleeper service quite interesting.

Freeze frame at Stromferry and you can see the house we stayed in recently with a whole load of my family. A truly stunning area. Plockton, which you can see briefly on the journey, was amazing and so quaint, and you can rent the railway station building as a guest house!
I cannot for the life of me work out why I find this so fascinating.
The episode I was waiting for, I knew it would be the best. My wife and I will go-her grandfather was a highlander.
You said it was the most scenic line in the UK, my favourite scenic line is the one from Abertawe/ Swansea to Porthladd Abergwaun/ Fishguard Harbour. That dry landscape is fantastic.
Hi Geoff, &vicki, are you doing a book on all the stations ? I for one would buy it, what a great concept you did,
Hate to see this series move toward the end run. Thank you for sharing your adventure with the world. Looking forward to even better things in the future.
such a pity we no longer have the only railway in the Hebrides (a 3-stop run single track, micro-gauge, Craignour Ferry Terminal to Duart-Castle Gardens)
I needed to know why don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations.
Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five car per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers.

Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly line and also build a brand-new underground train station so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford?
All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains.

OMG !! Even on a grey wet day the scenery you shot was stunning !! It is easy to see why Vicky is lost for (intelligible) words !!
The cut in the middle of the pan at Skye was pretty good.
Regarding the ferries, I think if two are cancelled and the one between them is running, then they've got a broken-down boat.
Corrour definitely deserved The Ultimate Tick. Absolutely beautiful.
Ive done both the Ft William to Mallaig and the Localsh to Inverness, and I think the former just edges it in beauty. It may be down the fact I've done the Localsh line more than a dozen times. I've also had to be picked up at Inverness by my dad because of flooding and/or rock falls!
Love, love, LOVED it! Would've liked to have seen more request stops though. Surprised someone got on at Lochluichart. I would've thought Duncraig or Attadale would've been more likely to be stopped at than Lochluichart. Considering the castle and gardens.
Amazing footage in this episode - great job guys
Into there last week. Don´t want to watch it now more... Hate for it to end. How to reset ones self habits and life again?
Brilliant video.
Spectacular scenes. Well done!
Lochluichart is the 11th least used station in the whole of England Scotland and Wales. True fact.
One of the best episodes so far! Loved it!
OMGosh! You truly do live in a Green and Pleasant Land
I've seen the Kyle of lochalsh-Inverness line in the sun when I did a train trip with my dad
Steam train over the viaduct, just beautifully stunning, well done.
This is in serious competition with the Cambrian coastline as my favourite video
Just awesome relaxing videos, keep up the great work
Two of the most scenic rail journeys in Britain - in one day!
Near Inverness there is a small fishing village called Banff where i have family. It's so quaint there that it might break Vicky's senses!!
Would recommend doing the Kyle line in autumn if yous get a chance, the colours of Achnashellach Forest for example are just gorgeous 💘
Oh yes, the Glenfinnan viaduct. Fantastic.
Lovely, you got a shot of the postbox in Glenfinnan.
Great trip as usual. Anybody could say if the post office on Skye has an foreign exchange?
I love Geoff's railway. Take a ride behind a heavy freight Class 60 up the West Highland Line any time you want. You may be travelling in Coal Hopper Class though...
Lovely isn’t it? Ride my Mountainbike from Stonehaven thru Balder and Inverness to Fort William and get the train there to Edinburgh Haymarket. Greetings from across the pond. (The Netherlands) Johan
Ha ha thanks for the Pilning mention at Achnasheen, I’d missed that before, We holiday in Plockton Station, May this year if we’re allowed and love that route but I also film trains at Pilning (we’re in Yate, which didn’t get a mention, how about coming back.....?).
Much love both
