What is ‘Photrek’? It is the website for Tim Hudson, a former public librarian
who now provides specialised information and advisory services in a number of fields. Now \u2018retired\u2019 after many years as a \u2018wage slave\u2019 he is \u2018free\u2019 to devote his time to the \u2018important\u2019 things in life. Please find time to browse this site, which I hope you find interesting.
A comment has recently been made about my photograph – OK – it was taken in 1990, in the Kulu valley in N India during a very happy & adventurous period of travel, which included my first visit to Ladakh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pages reflect my own interests and hobbies, especially many years
of photographic travel in Nepal and India, and an involvement of over 60 years in small scale (1\/1200 & 1\/1250 scale) model ship collecting (including the long standing & successful ‘Welton Mini-ship Show<\/a>‘ – now transferred to the nearby village of Dunholme. (A.K.A as the Lincoln Mini-ship Show<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narrow gauge railways are an important part of my life and I worked for over fifty years as a volunteer on the narrow gauge ‘Talyllyn Railway’<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincolnshire born & bred I am proud to consider myself a true \u2018Yellow Belly\u2019. Ancestors came from both the Wolds & the Fens and I now live in the \u2018West End\u2019 of Lincoln – an area of the City which the maternal side of the family moved to some 150 years ago – there are a few of us \u2018oldtimers\u2019 left. I am a Steward at Lincoln Cathedral.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
