Knaphill, Surrey.
I needed to be #chillaxing this afternoon after a few earlier frustrations. Lovely day for it, lucky to have the landscape nearby. #pewseyvale #goldenballhill #knaphill #wiltshire #sticksandstones #woodboroughgardencentre (at Sticks and Stones) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdi_t4Ss9cD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Some time for quiet contemplation in a storm on the top of a sacred site. Not quite Solsbury Hill! #knaphill #adamsgrave #pewseyvale #wiltshire (at Adam's Grave) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHDh9nkJ2WU/?igshid=1wb074zvhj6ol

My wife was on the Windlesham Country Market stall at the Knaphill Village Show. Me, along as a visitor.
It was a hot, humid and sunny day on Saturday, and as the rain held off, visitors continued to arrive well into the afternoon. The Show was opened by a remarkable Winston Churchill look-a-like. Being held at Mizens Railway, the attractions around the Woking Miniature Railway were popular. Naturally, I had to have a ride. A most impressive miniature railway, with bridges, a tunnel, and professional, though miniature signalling.
Readers will know of my affection for steam trains. In attending the Knaphill Village Show I satisfied a long held urge to find out more about the stationary steam engine in Barrs Lane, which I’ve passed so many times on journeys to Woking. It has an interesting history. Being built in Glasgow in 1899 for the Natal Government Railway in South Africa, and was in use until 1990 in a mine and colliery, returning to the UK in 2011. As there’s not a preserved railway in the UK using its 3’6″ gauge, it stands as a gate guardian at Mizens Railway.
