The Queen and I thought it would be good to take a trip by train somewhere have lunch together and then return (for Red Hats) as we like to be prepared for questions and have the answers, we did a reccy. Army training coming into play! Thursday we set off with train timetables organised, we had checked the place out (Mad Hatters Tea House) in Google maps, it said 300 metres from station. After asking three people at various times along the route, all of them were also visitors! Iwent into the BP service centre and got directions, "across the road, around the corner about 100mts". Great! good directions BUT the place was closed, buggar! A worker was there, the place looked guttered but he told us that it would reopen in the next few days. Back we walked to main shops and it was only about a 10 minutes walk and had lunch at the local bakery which had proper pasties. With Maureen and I both being Sth Aussie and brought up with meat pasties, its hard to go past so it was a coffee and pastie for lunch. Train back was at 1.03 or 2.03, five minutes before the train was due they told us that the 1.03 train was a bus! it took longer by bus as we called into lots of places but it was a quite interesing trip.
June's chatter meet will be there and those who dont want to train it and walk can go by car.
