It is so convenient during a long trip to have somewhere
appealing to break the journey - somewhere like a steam railway, for example.
Even better if you can time it right and your visit coincides with the arrival
or departure of a train.
“No, I’m sorry, we’re not travelling today, thank you,” but
I will make use of the loos because my diuretic pills have already kicked in.
We may also use the café if you are serving fresh ground coffee, as well as taking
a quick peek around the museum.
It was raining by the time we reached Buckfastleigh, but the
station still looked an absolute picture. Bishop’s Lydeard was equally spruced
up for the summer season, with fresh paint and flower baskets everywhere.
Yes, I know that coffee is a diuretic, too. There are some
that you just can’t win. I just hop from loo to loo all the way home. The more
recently added motorway services at Gloucester have the added attraction of individual
hot pies of different varieties at their “farm shop style” outlet, available at
all hours of the day and night it seems - and they serve good coffee.
