As always, you were both the perfect company. As for all the nostalgia stuff, Loughborough Central is much nearer to us than many appreciate. I was standing on stations like this waiting for trains in the 1980s, albeit that steam engines went in the late-1960s. Growing up in Middlesex in the 1940s and 50s, I always preferred the 'little electrics' as my grandfather called the tube trains which swished through Wembley on the Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines. Steam in those days was for far away places like Bletchley and Grantown-on-Spey to see my grandparent's friends or to stay with relatives.<br /><br />Hope the week went well and the family is on the end.<br /><br />Love from us both.

From here it's down to Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, East Sussex and Kent, and up to everywhere else! Down any further and I'd be in the English Channel, or the Isle of Wight!
