taxi driver

if anyone ever decides to film a remake of taxi driver, haywards heath would make a fine location ... sorry about the fuzzy picture, i was on the move

lunchtime at the bluebell railway

it is lucky for me that my current round takes me past the bluebell railway as i go from ockenden manor to ashdown park

i took my half-hour break at horsted keynes station, paying this feller a whole pound for my platform ticket

money well spent !

i was just in time to see the arrival and departure of two lovely old steam trains
