Absolutely fed up with Orange. I am beginning to suspect that they have deliberately cut off my free internet supply. I have spent expensive hours calling them and they promise to ring back, but never do. I am seriously thinking of changing my phone to get rid of them altogether since they are so useless.
Had a fab day with the punters at the Bluebell Railway, expertly organised by Romy. Our Chairman joined us at the last minute and after a fairly lengthy coach drive, but with lovely country views, we arrived. We had three refurbished 1920's pullman coaches (detail above), very like the Orient Express, and pottered by steam through bluebell woods, pretty fields with pheasants, rabbits etc. and carpeted on the banks by primroses. A lovely sunny day, too. We were served tea: sandwiches, and scones with clotted cream and jam, followed by small strawberry and cream tartlets and fruit cake. The 'stations' had old forties and fifties posters and tin signs, milk churns and leather suitcases and trunks piled up for 'luggage in advance'. There was even a coffin trolley, which we pretended not to notice given our advanced years. A lovely day.
