Bure Valley + Wells & Walsingham Railways - July 2019

My recent holiday visit to Norfolk took me to the Wells & Walsingham Light Railway and the Bure Valley Railway. In this video, there are a few shots at Walsingham station and Wroxham station.

Ok so the next part is a bit of an honest talk so you don't have to read but it concerns the future of this channel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently, ive been having a lot of thought into this channel and where it want it to take me. Ive been making railway related content over many channels for the past 8 years and my lifelong interest has been focused almost solely on railways. If you know me well youll understand that i have come out of school and had to sit some intense examinations over the last 2-3 months, hence the lack of uploads.

The past few months have been ridiculously important to me and what kind of person i am. The lack of attention for this channel has allowed to me grow socially and this year experience and do things new. Now without getting too personal as i like to keep my identity rather unknown but i feel like in the stage of life i am now, the channel has become a set-back.

I came to the realization that maybe my interest in trains is dying or at least become more secondary in the wake of other things. I havent been able to take true pride and have fun filming videos for a very long time now. I enjoy editing and thumbnail creation although my freetime is very reduced and thus they suffer. Whilst ill be forever grateful in this channel introducing me towards a career in filmography, what im doing here is going nowhere

And so i bring to my final point. Whats the point in having a hobby if you dont find it enjoyable. Im not saying goodbye to the channel and those who watch and appreciate my work, its just that if im not happy, theres no point. Being a perfectionist i fall into the trap of the "perfect shot" and i feel i cant do this any longer. Live is bigger now, i shouldnt be spending my time in a field waiting 2 hours for a standard 4.

I will always love trains, its just the motivation for the channel has hit rock bottom.

Though i doubt ill quit, dont expect much from me from here on out. You guys who watch my videos are amazing, im sorry its going to be this way.
