After a wonderful week in Portsmouth it was time to move on- before I left I had to grab a photo of Dave outside his shed- every man needs a shed!
It was so good to finally meet face to face with family from England- we have spent so much time conversing through email it was great to eventually be face to face. Thank you everyone- you were so warm and welcoming. Our door is always open in NZ for a return visit.
Lynda and Dave saw me off the premises at the Cosham railway station. Look at all that blue English sky!
A highlight of the train trip to Abergevenny was the
Westbury White Horse that I could see from the train window.
The link above gives you a better idea of the size of the thing close up- it must be huge. I was so pleased the train stopped for a moment at a siding and I was able to capture a decent photo.
After a slightly traumatic train transfer at Newport I arrived at Abergavenny. The announcements at the station were of course in Welsh and English- and I couldn't understand either!
Paul was there at the station to meet me and we had a quick look around the town centre and a hot coffee in town. I was impressed with Abergavenny- they had made more of an effort with their Christmas decorations than shops in Oxford Street had.
