Description:
A train buff has spent more than 30 years building a stunning working miniature railway track - in his own back garden.<br/><br/>Derek Burwell, 84, created the 272 yard line around the edge of his 40ft (12m) wide garden at his home in Pelsall, Walsall, West Mids.<br/><br/>The train-mad OAP travels around the track in eight mini engines he built from hand himself and has spent thousands of pounds on his hobby since 1993. <br/><br/>Derek constructs everything from a workshop at the end of his garden where he can spend hours on end each day building and restoring old engines. <br/><br/>His garden also features a host of railway memorabilia - including a 100-year-old signal he reclaimed from a level crossing which now sits in the middle of his lawn.<br/><br/>The track is made from timber and aluminium while he has a mixture of electric and battery-powered engines as well as petrol-driven hydraulic ones.<br/><br/>Grandfather-of-two Derek said he decided to build his own garden track as it had always been a life-long dream of his since falling in love with trains as a child.<br/> <br/>He said: \

_sunrise-at-manning-lookout-morton-national-park.webp "Fancy a weekend out of Sydney? This is the perfect adventure and opportunity to shoot some of the most breathtaking sunrises around. nnI’ve been to Kangaroo Valley a few times now, originally to shoot the wombats and kangaroo’s commonly seen hoping around. At first light I would look-up to see a cloudy mist covering the valley. Once the sun had risen high enough, the fog would dissipate and we were set for another beautiful day in Kangaroo Valley.nnI had heard about Manning Lookout in the Mo")

_meet-the-makers-the-japanese-born-potter-making-yorkshirefolk-cherish-their-crockery.webp "There was a time not so long ago when tableware was displayed as the prized possession of households across Britain; fine china used only on special occasions and promised one day to younger relatives proudly adorned dining room cabinets. <br/>More recently, many of those inherited collections have found<br/>themselves forgotten or retired. In the twenty-first century, screen time and throw away culture has eroded the ritual of sitting around a table together at meal times. <br/>In many homes people opt for teas-on-knees while ready-meal packaging and mass-produced supermarket-bought plates have taken the place of the previously treasured dishes.<br/>It's a lack of connection to our tableware that Japanese born potter<br/>Makiko Hastings noticed when she first moved to the UK. <br/>Working from her studio in Knaresborough, she hopes her lovingly<br/>crafted wheel-thrown pieces will encourage a new way of using and<br/>cherishing our crockery.<br/>“One way of looking at pottery is that some people might want to have a collection and treat it like art to look-at, but I want my pottery to be used in daily life,” she explained. <br/>“That’s because the food culture in Japan is quite deep. Table gathering was an important part of my childhood.”<br/>“Over here everything was on the one plate and then quite casually it was just eat and done with - or otherwise people have set tableware and everything is just pristine, and for me that’s kind-of too polite or too posh. It’s not really living life.<br/>“I want my work to be part of daily life so people feel comfortable with it and cherish it.”<br/>Makiko embraces the slow process of pottery. <br/>New collections are never rushed to meet commercial demands - “ideas just come when you’re not trying to think. It just comes when you’re on a bus or walking and then eventually I’ll formulate how I want it.”")
