I’m in England with my family! Now that we’ve all adjusted to local time, we’re tourist-ing it up. We began with a steam-train expedition on the East Lancashire Railway, which was perfect on a rainy day:
The weather helped towards a Victorian atmosphere.
It was a diesel engine on the way out but we came back by steam.
Waiting for a heavily laden tea-trolley to trundle by.
The East Lancs Railway is run primarily by volunteers – especially impressive when you realize that it runs every weekend throughout the year, with extra trains in the holiday season.
A couple of days later, we went to the newly restored Clitheroe Castle. The last time I was there, it was still a ruin.

The castle keep dates to Norman times.
The museum entrance - a bit of a jolt, when you round the corner.
Today, I’m in London. More anon.
London looks amazing! Have fun
Don’t worry, I am, Ari.
And I’ll post about London next week.
That steam train looks like so much fun! I’ll have to look into it the next time I find myself in England.
Welcome to my neck of the woods, i’m a couple of hours away from London, but absolutely love it there, wish i had more time to go. hope your having a fantastic time. Have you seen the London Eye yet? if not you should go it’s breath-taking.
Thanks, Becky! I was in London a couple of days ago but didn’t have time for the Eye. Next time for sure.
