I took myself off to my local pit head at Astley Green, The gear is still standing, and the local conservation team have been busy restoring the winding engines for quite a few years
Yesterday they ran the engine for only the 3rd time. It was wonderful to see, the biggest engines in the North. And the only one left in the country that is working.

My Uncle used to work in this engine house and on a Sunday,I would go for him at lunch time, (no health and safety then ) I would wander through the pit yard and up into the engine house,

The massive drum which wound the steel ropes for the cages, as thick as a mans arm .It was like a great beast to me at 7/8 years old, clanking and hissing.
He kept those engines spotless and shining along with his array of oil cans.

Our first snow of winter here at Manchester today now turned to rain but VERY cold lol

Fantastic card. Love the design and use of washi tape. Great crochet shawl too. I´m just working on a "collar" that you can pull over your head and will keep your neck warm. Wish you a great week to come!
