Lone track

It’s turned very warm and humid here over the past 24 hours and I’m not in a mind to write much for the blog today (and I have a videogame that has my attention calling out for me to play! 🙂 ).

This single track railway line heads north from Bridlington, passing through Bempton, Hunmanby and Filey, before joining the line to Scarborough at Seamer. I have a fond memory of Seamer despite never having stepperd foot in the place. When I was young we would visit my godmother (who was one of my mum’s childhood friends) who owned a Bed & Breakfast at Filey, and stay there for a summer holiday. I can’t remember how many times we did this, but at least a couple of times, and maybe more.

I haven’t heard anything of my godmother for a very long time, or her three daughters, but seeing Seamer on a map or signpost reminds me of these holidays as it’s where the train would split off the Scarborough line to Filey.

There’s a hint of Stephen King’s story, The Body (made into the movie Stand By Me) about this picture, I think.

      1. Ah, so I understand.

        What do you think of it. Some of the ‘mech crafting’ seemed really out of place to me (I haven’t played it, just watched some vids about it).

      2. The building stuff can be largely avoided if desired. There are some puzzles and environments where you need to build stuff, but you can get through the game without using it too for the most part. I’ve not really built anything especially exciting – I have a “hoverbike” design, that can be useful for traversing terrain, that I’ve been using, but not much more than that so far. It’s a HUGE game though – easily hundreds of hours of content outside the main storyline if you want to explore.
