"dull routine", i'll have to get back to you on that. i am not reading dull!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823369215793154260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-66025585197542167132020-06-09T18:28:10.899-04:002020-06-09T18:28:10.899-04:00Thank you for taking us on your journey!

That's quite the breakwater, I don't think I've ever seen one that high. Lilacs have a wonderful aroma, can't imagine what it smelled like in your vehicle, glad you could take some home.Woody Meristemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042498252608254901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-7067782715298486382020-06-09T16:56:35.162-04:002020-06-09T16:56:35.162-04:00Here in the States some of the towns were able to ...Here in the States some of the towns were able to keep the train stations. They were made into museums and or community rooms to rent for occasions. Most I've seen were never quite so beautiful.

I don't even need to real all the paraphernelia on the walls and in displays. I just love standing in the structures and admiring the walls, ceilings, lighting (if it's old) and floors. Thank you for the sign about lilacs. I've always wished I could pick some but felt I was stealing. With a copy of that photo on my phone, I can prove to others that I am helping the bush! :)Patsy Irene (Chillin' with Patsy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17023685247825134744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-17939043230437609842020-06-08T22:42:51.614-04:002020-06-08T22:42:51.614-04:00I think old train stations, rails, and trains, rep...I think old train stations, rails, and trains, represent a fascinating history of our land from sea to sea. So romantic and often written about in lyric and song. Gordon Lightfoot comes to mind with his Railroad Trilogy. You are a fine example to all of us out here FG. You accept your challenges and then meet them head on.

We all need to learn acceptance, and my time has arrived right now. Energetic housework has gone, I sit and watch someone else do the floors, clean the cupboard doors, tidy the freezer, as our daughter said last week, " Mum, it's far easier to help than ask for help'. she will be laid up in a plaster cast for 6 weeks after thumb surgery in a few weeks, then a second lighter cast for another 6 weeks. This will extend from finger tips to elbow from what I can gather, and will limit every activity, either housework, baking, or knitting and gardening. Fancy arriving by train then a horse and sleigh ride to go skiing!!! That would be a huge adventure before you even put your skis on.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-34271729088212742712020-06-08T13:43:49.020-04:002020-06-08T13:43:49.020-04:00That is a great old station!
