Saturday Train Adventure; part 2


Dear George,

Well what a difference an hour and a cup of tea make...

I'm boarding the train for Knighton and it's as if I were in some delightfully quaint british comedy. The surrounding countryside is heart warmingly stunning, the banter with the old man in the station teashop was first rate and I have just spent the last couple of minutes helping little old ladies carry their wheely bags up and down the stairs and allowing them to use my arm to steady themselves on to the train. I think I will explode if my heart warms anymore!

Knighton, I just read, is every bit the traditional british country town and i'm unbelievable excited about getting there. I've cursed myself already about not reading up on the place before hand since they have a bicycle hire shop and if i'd not packed so much I could have hired said bike and made my way to the holiday cottage by way of more beautiful countryside. Alas, alas …

The 'famous', or rather, one of the interesting things about Knighton is that the train station is in England, whereas the town is in Wales! Amazing!

Weather remains nippy, but the sun is out and I can't see a cloud in the sky. Stamps are 60p each

Take care buddy,
Yours,
Little Dave
