Enchanting postcards from England are arriving, the latest a decorative one from the National Railway Museum in York...why, it appears some young man may have an interest in trains!

Yes, there is MUCH to be said for enjoying someone else's holiday...no packing...no airport queuing...much cheaper...no map-reading...no taxi-cabs...no lost Topiary.

Topiary is very much enjoying Linda's travels, and thanks her for the charming postcards!

you skipped no-security check-in!

i'm so enjoying Linda's vacation. i love that they go as their own nuclear family and get such a kick out of each other.

i've never been to england but would very much like to go.

why are boys born loving trains? i don't think i have EVER met a guy who didn't love trains. my own fiance still wants most of his xmas gifts from a toy store. some boys like cars, guns (i hate when this happens), video games. but it seems that ALL boys like trains.

is there anything like that for girls?

p.s. let's go with linda on next year's vacation. well, i'm actually a whiney site-seer. you wouldn't want to go with me.

The trains we have these days aren't nearly as attractive (they're like badly-rusted tubes of toothpaste on wheels). But even the most dilapidated and neglected steam engine is a thing to fall in love with.

That train is like the one in which Mr Toad escaped from prison, circa 1910. What you need, Ms Cow, is a guide to show you around.

Weight: also no risk of hijacking!

So glad you are also enjoying the vicarious vacation! Trains are definitely cool.

Ha, wouldn't that be funny for all of us to show up with our suitcases and winter hats to go along with Linda! She would laugh I am sure.

Kevin: at least you DO have trains and presumably people ride them, here everyone is locked away in cars. Steam is definitely neat.

Cow HAS spent an interesting few minutes at railroad crossings enjoying the graffiti on cargo trains as they go by.

Gorilla: yes absolutely, in the Congo as well as in England a guide would be most efficacious!

Moo!

cow, do you have running water?! if not, rush to the airport, get the next flight to new jersey, and we'll spend the weekend going to movies.

if you do have to stay and go to work (highly over-rated, this work), i hope you can flush your toilet!!!!

Weight, yes, it's fine, Cow has power and water, just downtown doesn't. Suburbs are okay.
