The hawthorn blossom is just starting to come out at Crofton on 22 May 2012, as 59101 Village of Whatley rolls slowly round the curve with the 7A09 07:12 Merehead to Acton Mendip Rail 'jumbo' stone train. Even at this rural location a communications mast has spring up, along with attendant generator. Thankfully it doesn't intrude too much on the view.
