Out in the sun -
with  Craig Munday
​Hi Keith
After the snow the weather was particularly turgid. Thankfully we've had a sustained blast of sunshine which has brought the countryside to life. 
Some pictures from the recent week, including an Exeter Riverside shot from today. I was covering the area for a couple of shifts and popped over to see 59005 arrive with the stone working from Westbury. 

              Kind regards,  Craig          Many thanks Craig
