WOW that is fantastic, makes me want to go again, my friend Di went to The Ridge with a friend this weekend just gone , still I can't complain I had an equally enjoyable weekend, as I went up to Warwickshire to see my most wonderful boyfriend, we cuddled up watching films together, and also yesterday went to "The Battlefield Railway" at Shackerstone in Leicestershire to view and travel behind preserved British Railways diesels See here , http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/chrissimmons/
The diesel in the top picture is a Class 73 no 73 114 , a 1,600 bhp, third rail electric locomotive, also with a 600bhp diesel engine as used and still in use on the Southern Region. 73 114 is a visitor to the Battlefield Line, after they restored her. Anyway we were both like big kids, my boyfriend was looking out of the window and suddenly called out "Spitfire", as a Spitfire was flying nearby, I must admit those Rolls Royce Merlin engines sound very distinctive. I did try to get a pic of the Spitfire, but it had gone out of view. I know when I move up that way we'd love to drive the locos on the railway, we'll both join as volunteers. If you look om their website, there's a couple of volunteers who are now husband and wife .
Oh sorry gone off of the subject of Hergest Ridge, I know my boyfriend and I like the idea of living in the countryside, I've convinced him to come along to Hergest Ridge in the hopefully near future for a few days.
I know maybe I'm sad for being a bit anoraky about cars,planes and trains, , but I don't think so , I personally think watching soaps is sad, but each to his/her own as I say.
-------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad
If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.
I'm challenging taboos surrounding mental health
