I got a call that a swarm of bees had moved into a compost bin in a garden down the road. We went round, scooped them up and drove them home (still wearing our bee suits). Then I poured them out onto a sheet hanging from the entrance to the hive. And off they marched up into their new home.

My lad (who is train mad) has entered a competition to win a ride on the Flying Scotsman. He had to build a model of the famous steam engine and take it into the National Rail Museum in York. With a little help from Mum he constructed this master piece from old socks and pants.

The museum loved it and have shortlisted it for the prize. Now we need your help to win him his dream prize.

please email scotsmanvoting@nrm.org.uk with "vote for model #12"

We put up the camera obscura again. The sunny snowy view was particularly good for it.

The view from my office between June 24th and 5th November.

Taken with a pinhole camera made from an iphone box (the ihole maybe?).

Another shot of the room camera obscura.

Just black out the windows and level a 1cm diameter hole. Then hey presto your inside a camera.
