I'm a 60+ year old divorcee who spent forty years working as a public servant in the NHS doing a job that paid well, but that I hated doing. So, for the last thirty of these years I also worked as a part-time bus/coach driver, mostly with OK Motor Services of Bishop Auckland, doing a job that maintained my sanity and gave me a great deal of pleasure - but didn't pay at all well. From when I retired in 2003 until 2010 I worked at Beamish Museum in County Durham as a driver of their "crash box" buses and 100+ year-old restored trams. My colleagues and friends were wonderful and working was an absolute pleasure. I always had my camera with me at work and my colleagues were invariably more than happy to pose for me, so my photostream is mostly a chronicle of the daily life and sights spotted during my time in the museum.
For the benefit of those who don't know Beamish Museum it is an open-air museum set in 300 acres of rural land in County Durham in North-East England. Within the museum are reconstructed buildings drawn from the surrounding areas, showing life in Georgian 1825 (at Pockerley Manor and the waggonway), Victorian 1870's (at Home Farm) and in post-Edwardian 1913 (in the rest of the museum). A working tramway, using restored Victorian trams, conveys visitors around the site.Staff are dressed in appropriate costumes and are able to demonstrate to visitors what life was like in these three time slots.
I have a weakness for gardening and get a great deal of pleasure out of the beauty of the wealth of summer flowers that I propagate each year. Some of these also feature in my photostream.
