An Extra Mile

Roy went an extra mile last week while traveling from Stoke to Leek by high-speed rail (First-Class, off-peak). In truth, a little more; It was an extra sixty-three he ended up in Oswestry; decided to explore and see; He’d never been before. He saw the castle and the keep; It is one way to travel cheap; to board a train then fall asleep; (the secret’s not to snore).

A fun read Terry. Really enjoyed it thank you. Reminded me of late night runs coming back from London that I used to do years ago. Warmest wishes.

Oh me too; home on weekend leave Friday nights up from Pompey (after a few, and many years ago) we got to writing the names of our station on a notepad and pinning it to our chest. Thank you for visit.
