I hope that you have all managed to catch up with me in Emsworth in Hampshire, after our whistle stop tour of HAMPSHIRE & ISLE OF WIGHT.

The next leg of our tour will be revealed later this evening and again I will do the whole 2 day tour in one so it will be easy to see what I have missed, or what attraction or town can be added to make the tour more complete.  So do join me on the next English Counties - ? - A Whistle Stop TourSmile

Before we sail from the Isle Isle of White,a word about the tube trains. They were the 1938 tube stock trains. I drove those on the Northern and the Jubilee lines when I was a London transport train driver. They were hot and noisy down the tunnels,but a lot cooler on the Isle of White. Not so packed and a lot cleaner too.

Every summer we could rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight if it's not too dear.  We shall scrimp and save....oops, sorry just singing to myself.  Smile

A day late and a dollar short as usual, but before we leave Hampshire, could we stop in Up Nately?  Isn't that a great name for a village?

Here's one of God talking to Jan Minter's dog:

And look how lovely the frost is there?

Hi Cathyml. No I didnt drive those trains on the I.O.W.  But I did also drive them on the Bakerloo line. Lol. If I lived on the Isle of White,I would still be driving them now I think.
