While my son and grandson were skimming stone a wee bit downstream from here on our recent holiday to North Wales, I made some photos of the ancient bridge. This is the one I like best.

Shunting No 12 “Joan”
No 12 “Joan”
No 12 “Joan” is an engine on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway. No 12 “Joan” is also named for my maternal grandmother, Joan Mildred Simmons (nee Henzell) and was one of a number of steam engines which were used to haul sugar cane to the factory on Antigua. I visited the WLLR on their recent steam gala and was lucky enough to ride on the footplate on a scheduled service.
