Daycation - Dungeness Nature Reserve & Railway

Image
Another staycation day between showers to take advantage of the dry weather that appears between them! Molly the Moho is still at the dealers and so we are in the car again.  It's about a 25 mile round trip to Dungeness.  This is officially a desert.  I kid you not. We had a walk on the shingle to the Polish Airmen's Memorial and then walked back to the station to have tea and wait for the last train of the day to arrive. Luckily, when the train arrived it didn't hoot the horn.. If it had, Reggie would have gone mental. Instead he ignored the sound of it wheezing into the station. Claire took a couple of photos on her phone.  Today the Sony A300 was left at home..... The "New" Lighthouse

Back to Work

  Miserable cold morning. The early frost on the screen had melted by the time I left the house. This was taken at Sandling Station. Cold and an empty platform.

Wasted journey!

After a few days, okay 5 working days off with flu, I set off this morning. I got as far as Sevenoaks and started to feel sick, eventually after a coffee I felt no better so I struggled home again. If I hadn't bothered I would have saved the £92 (for now anyway!) for my weekly season ticket (photo attached!) and the £6.90 for the taxi from the station!
