Description
All Aboard!This feature is dedicated to all those railway buffs who so enjoy the excitement and nostalgia of the days of steam engines, but especially dedicated to my good friend Sheri, Scooby777, who I know loves the old locomotives of the West and who has presented so many of them here. Also, I must make mention of Alice AlicesPlace who, being a resident of Norfolk, knows all about the following and gave me the tip to check this out.Near the little sea coast village of Blakeney in Norfolk, scene of my recent vacation, there is the town of Holt, with its busy and thriving markets, shops, hotels, and railway station! Holt Station is one end of the line to Sheringham, a busy and pretty seaside town on the North Norfolk coast, and the railway is part of the North Norfolk Railway, see ==>

Indeed, a lovely little station, all carefully restored to the 1960s, Coco. Well spotted regarding Anne, but it is not she!!! That is Jennifer, Anne's younger sister, also featured as the person hanging out the window in a later shot.
Cheers

OMG ~ I could've sworn it was Anne ~ from the back they look identical! Β
Jack leaves in a couple of days ~ Jessie and I will be taking him to the airport. Β Thanks so much for your coming hospitality to him ~ it's so kind of you both to take him under your wing/s and I hope you get some really great photos together! Β Cheers, Coco

G'day, Coco - yes, that is my gorgeous sister-in-law, Jennifer. She and Anne do look very alike, but Jennifer is not so tall.
We're looking forward to seeing Jack - all arranged with him this end. Down to London, up to the cottage, and some time around here. Should be good.
Cheers

Well, they're both gorgeous girls!
BTW, Jack's 34th birthday is on 23rd September ~ just after he leaves England ~ thought I'd give you a heads-up! Coco

I included this shot just to give a feel of the location. When the trains are there, the platform is very busy and there is no view!
Many Thanks, Pia.
