Henley gathered dust for a few months, but a gift of a lovely coal wagon from a friend in Nebraska (they are expecting
snow tomorrow) jarred me into action.
The tram leads a coal drag near the Henley Colliery, whilst an Updown Local, or however you chaps say it, chuffs by,
left side as custom, I am told? The question is does the two wheel coach go typically upon the end of the train or up front?
Alas, no, I did not make it out to the UK this year, as I had hoped. Next year my daughter wants to see Italy, so
that shall be on the itinerary. Italy, I am confident, will be interesting, give me a chance to see some Roman stuff
up close, though I'd rather see Britain.
The only thing they seriously got wrong in the old films about Roman soldiers are the Italian accents!
