The Railway Children

Image
Hubby and I went to see this yesterday - drove to the Go Train/Bus station in Milton, caught the Go Bus into Toronto - walked from Union Station on the  Skywalk to the CN Tower to see this amazing production of The Railway Children. If you are in the area and get the chance - go see this fabulous production! Here's a little taste of what it was like..... We were very fortunate to have seats in the first row - lots of leg room for us tall folks!

Ontario Fibre Week - who knew?

I just found out about this yesterday - but managed to drop in  when the market opened today at 3:00 - very small but very nice.  I'm sure this is going to grow in coming years and I look forward to a local Fibre venue. Click on the banner above to go to the web site for more info.

You can't be on the platform, when you're sitting on the train!

Alan usually does a lot of video of the preserved steam trains when we are in the UK - but it's hard to do when you are sitting on the train! At times, this train was doing 75 mph - how did we know?  Well, although this was a preserved train, with vintage coach stock, one of the fellows in our coach was rigged up with high-tech gps technology that monitored our progress - amazing! Luckily there were A LOT of people following the train as we raced up the East coast line - when on the main line (you can tell if it's the main line by the overhead electrical wires) we were moving......when on secondary lines, we had to go slower - but there were people everywhere watching the train, taking photos and videos.
