Tintern Station

On the way North from Exeter to Scotland in July, GB and I stopped at Tintern Station. Much to my disappointement my previous stopping point at Tintern itself - the old antique shop and coffee stop with its pleasant host has closed down. We'll probably give stopping in Tintern a miss in future though the old station was pretty enough.

smart rail master, with such a lovely tea place, no one will complain if the train is late.

Very picturesque! Years ago, I've been to Pickering Station, a stop of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway; as far as I know, it was used in the Harry Potter films (both the station and the train).

The place is pretty enough but I was a little disappointed by the fact that they put a pay-and-display parking machine there. I don't think it's a really wise policy to try and charge your customers to park when they stop for coffee.

The Cast

This is my main blog insofar as it is the one I try to ensure has at least one entry per day - and usually two. It is also the one which has my Friday My Town Shoot-out on it.

My home is in Pensby on The Wirral in Cheshire, England but at the moment I am on holiday in the Outer Hebrides, staying at my brother's near Stornoway. (Somewhere I have a little map that says I am here and points to Stornoway but I can't find it and am too lazy to make another one). This is the cast of characters who appear regularly:-

Me - sometimes known as CJ or John and otherwise known as Scriptor Senex; Jo (alias Partner-who-loves-tea and also known as Partner-who-hates-being-photographed); Bryony (Food-loving-Daughter); Bryony's husband Mark (Son-in-law-who-cooks); Helen (Daughter-who-takes-photos); Helen's husband Ian (a.k.a. Son-in-law-and-Friend-who-loves-Otters); Richard (Son-who-watches-films);
