    Sorry Macleaf, I was just being facetious. How about Cornish Lass?
    We don't have any trains here in this bit of North Cornwall, not since the 1960's sadly.

    Thank you Celia, you're just up the road from us. Where from Up Country are you from? I'm originally from Lancashire but been here for 28 years so I'm nearly a local.

    Fancy.Forget the traction engines and rollers,but we love the steam trains,especially travelling on them.There is a certain magic about the age of steam,a sort of romance.

    I think I could quite happily travel on one every day if I got the chance.

    Oh and by the way,we love going on Garden Centre crawls,though we are leaning more to nurseries now as they seem to have a more caring attitude,and you get some unusual plants. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Thanks again everyone for your warm welcome.
    Kandy, the place in my Avatar is a valley on our local part of Bodmin Moor & one of my favourite places.
