Trains all day, trains all night. A couple times an hour trains rumble by. Trains going north, trains going south. Trouble is, we are just a little bit south of a railroad crossing that requires the engineer to sound his whistle. Day and night. We’re learning that there is variation in the sound quality of train whistles and the shrillest we’ve heard was at about three o’clock in the morning!
With Karen’s sister, niece, and her family we visited Stotfold England to walk in the footsteps of ancestors and to explore a lovingly restored historic water mill.
To meet up with some family members for the weekend, we headed north to explore Ely one day then Lavenham the next, two incredible historic communities.
As we begin venturing into Central London we explore Primrose Hill,the Victoria Memorial, the Gatti Ice House at the London Canal Museum, and the HMS Belfast with more adventures to follow.
Sounds like “My Cousin Vinny”
Oh, that it was only one 5AM freight train!
