During the week we took an underground walk along the Mail Rail at Mount Pleasant. No longer in operation, the rail operated for 75 years up to 2003. Here’s a shot of the garden by the shop:

USA holiday
I recently went to Colorado, Utah and Wyoming for a couple of weeks holiday. I noticed that there are not a lot of phone boxes around. In Denver, the only one in the street I came across was an iconic British red box – outside a British pub of course. Inside was something even closer to my heat – a phone box full of whisky!
Molly Brown’s house had a phone, which in 1910 would have been rare, but it seems that was a replica. There were, unexpectedly, phone boxes inside the Denver Capitol building, although I don’t know if they still work. Apart from the airport, which appear to be next generation what with having screens attached, the only other phone we came across was ouside the Blanding visitor centre.
