My poor legs are grateful for the cafe we have found, alongside the old steam trains.\u00a0 I am knackered from all of our running around and ready to sit down for our meal! The weather has been cold today.\u00a0 I am thankful I have brought my jumper.\u00a0 With all the rain, wellies would have been good too, had I known it would be so wet!\u00a0\u00a0 With three full meals and several breaks for tea and\/or snacks daily, we always seem to be eating when we are in England! I suppose it is one way to dodge the persistent rain, which falls often in the autumn.\u00a0 Today is no exception.\u00a0 Once again, we find ourselves standing in a queue, waiting to be served.\u00a0 Alan is excited, as he has found a place that offers one of his favorite childhood meals, chip butties!\u00a0 This is basically a french fry sandwich.\u00a0 Slathered in tomato ketchup, Alan is in his glory.\u00a0 A unique English custom, if ever there was one! \u00a0 It is lovely to quietly sit in this station, where Queen Elizabeth once visited. Watching the trains move in and out of the depot, we are all thinking of Dad, and imagining how much he would have enjoyed being here.\u00a0 We toast him over a pot of tea.\u00a0 Soon we are warmed both inside and out, our souls and stomachs are both satisfied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
