The Train That Has Just Left Platform Two







Well, we're in the Lord John Pub in Stroud. We can't, so far, get onto the internet at M&D's place so we are here. Tuesday, Sheelagh's cousin Tony arrived from Canada to take his ship into the English Cannel. It was a sunny day and we saw the front in sunshine. Yesterday, we started off from Eastbourne on a train that was about 15 minutes late. That was compounded by a Circle Line underground in London that was experiencing, "slight delays". So, we came upon the train on platform two that had just left. I was told that we were out of luck and, "That ticket is spent." After a bit of whining, we were issued replacement tickets and we went toward Swinden, then off on the train to Cheltenham Spa and then to Malcolm and Delyth's place in Stroud. We were so glad to see them. We had a lovely evening catching up. Today we are starting to see some of the many things that are here for the annual arts festival. We'll check in later. Special to Beatrix and Ngila, the picture is of Paddington station where Paddington Bear arrived in England.

  1. Nothing like a little fine whine when abroad! ;-) Good to hear you are doing well. Adventure is the word -- so many experiences. I haven't commented, but have enjoyed reading of your goings on. Greetings to the Grahams if you still have opportunity to see them!

  2. Hello to our rolling mates.

    Good to see that you made it to the other side safely. :)

    It is sooooo hot here like you wouldn't believe. Summer has come early and that isn't good!

    Love from both of us,
    Vonny
