...steam engines

I have been following the television series on Big Engines presented by
Chris Barrie (Rimmer from Red Dwarf). Without a doubt my favourite are the
steam engines. These were built is the day when an engineer could build a
world changing technology in his garage (or coach-house maybe). Is there
anything more beautiful in the world of machines than a whopping great
beast of a gleaming steam engine. I don't like the silly little ones that
power steam rollers. I like the big ones that would power ships. Maybe it
is time for another visit the maritime museum in Southampton.

Thanks Anna for posting. As you can see I haven't posted for ages. I promissed I'd complete my thesis before I used the blog again. Just broke that one. IT has to be submitted end of Feb (two weeks time!!!).
I'll be looking out for an Anna in church now. You'll find me chasing around after my two sweet girls all the time.
