All the interactions I have ever had with Ratcliffe on Soar power station is from the southern bank of the River Trent. Today, just in time for its closurer, I have crossed the Trent to see things from the other bank.

The light was crap but let’s not dwell on such matters. It is always good to experience different perspectives. Equally, it always good to have a brisk (I doubt few people who passed us would agree with such a description) walk with a good friend and then continue the conversation in the local pub whilst eating straightforward food for lunch. It is a hard life I know but someone has got to live it.
