I've been out this evening with our local #Bristol branch of #CAMRA on a minibus social trip down to the #MendipHills. Many beers taken in many rural pubs. #Pensford, #TempleCloud, #Hallatrow, #Litton, #ChewMagna

There's something wonderful about visiting a nice pub which you haven't been to in years, in the company of friends.

Good morning everyone!

This one is called Recycling History.

I've made a few trips to these old #railway tunnels on the #MonsalTrail in the #PeakDistrict over the years. I find it very difficult to do them justice. If you can, go and experience them for yourself.

(I believe this one is the #Litton tunnel? It's right by the #MonsalDale viaduct.)

Here's some BTS photos from the short film I co-wrote and directed with @jrmartin #Shutdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYrYH-DnQZ4

The bulk of shooting happened at the wonderful #Litton building in Grass Valley, CA. It was built as a hospital, but never actually used as such. After WWII, Charles Litton (a vacuum tube pioneer) purchased the building and ran his engineering business making glass blowing lathes.

This was an awesome experience and I can't wait to make another short film!

Here's a documentary called #TechnicallyImprobable! that I've been working on. The COVID era sort of brought me to a halt, but I'm back at it. Got stuff in there about #Litton, #GrassValleyGroup, #Atari (#CyanEngineering), and more. We've got a lot of tech in #GrassValleyCA and an amazing and bizarre history behind it.
