You have a good abstract eye and the heart and soul of a poet. We enter a world composed of reality defused with imagination. Emile. #7

Hi Viv, perhaps my reply should be 'toot, toot' It's a great little railway... the Talyllyn, and I have spent many a happy hour traveling its length, and walking in the hills nearby.
