13/12/2001: Glaston and Wansford


A little bit of childhood rediscovery today, as Sheila toured
some of places she played at when she was young.
Wansford was the village where her grandmother used to live.


The view from our room of the pub where we're staying at Glaston
(This is not one of the places she played)
The Monckton Arms was built in 1646. It's weird staying in
a building that is over 100 years older than recorded history at home


Rambling through the fields at Wansford
(I never new there could be so much mud!)


The bridge over the river


And you thought boating was a relaxing pastime


Welcome to Flatcat Inn

Off to the Nene Valley railway.
Home of the real Thomas the Tank Engine


The platform


The yard. There's Thomas


(sing) Big Wheels keep on turnin'


The Santa Special
(With chocolates and juice for the kids, and mince pies, Baileys and Scotch for the grownups!)
