@ninalanyon great pics and love the carriage name , you look to have the train to yourself and hopefully next week I can have a train journey and might get to Plymouth and Truro

@skimpyboy There were just two of us in the carriage. Only about a dozen on the whole train. It was the 10:00 departure, the first train of the day. I think the next one is more popular. It's much more popular in the school holidays.

@ninalanyon must have a train journey when I get down to Devon , staying at Paignton so not far from Torquay

@skimpyboy The Dartmouth steam railway, https://www.dartmouthrailriver.co.uk/, runs from Paignton station to Kingswear. On some days you can get a Round Robin ticket that takes you first by train to Kingswear then by passenger ferry to Dartmouth. From there you get a boat to Totnes, and then a bus back to Paignton.

Are you in Paignton now?

@ninalanyon that sounds good , should arrive in Paignton tomorrow after stopping of at the RHS gardens Rosemoor

@skimpyboy I'm leaving tomorrow to go to Callington just across the Tamar for a week.

@ninalanyon think Wallington is east Cornwall , second time I have missed you , first was near my house at Turton Tower and went later to haves some nude pics taken near the bridge

@skimpyboy Yes, east Cornwall. Just a few miles from the English border :-)

@skimpyboy If you'll be passing near Callington next week let me know it would be interesting to meet over coffee. Or tea, beer, etc.

@skimpyboy So you did take some pictures at Turton? And haven't shared them with us?

:-)

@ninalanyon will post them when I get my phone back , did nudes near the bridge but some walkers appeared so session was cut short

@skimpyboy What's happened to your phone?

@ninalanyon drying out after I dropped it at the pond when swimming

@skimpyboy Do you think it will still work?

@ninalanyon hope so it can take a few weeks but once fully dry it should be ok
