The next leg of our tour will be revealed later this evening and again I will do the whole 2 day tour in one so it will be easy to see what I have missed, or what attraction or town can be added to make the tour more complete. So do join me on the next English Counties - ? - A Whistle Stop Tour |

They were the 1938 tube stock trains. I drove those on the Northern and the Jubilee lines when I was a London transport train driver. They were hot and noisy down the tunnels,but a lot cooler on the Isle of White. Not so packed and a lot cleaner too. |

We shall scrimp and save....oops, sorry just singing to myself. A day late and a dollar short as usual, but before we leave Hampshire, could we stop in Up Nately? Isn't that a great name for a village? Here's one of God talking to Jan Minter's dog:  Picture by Jan Minter  Picture by Jan Minter
