The Orient Express left Paris for Istanbul for the last time on this day, May 20, 1977. A journey of 62 hours #interrail #europetrains
I’m always thrilled when someone takes the time to leave a short review for one of my books (especially if it’s a nice one!😄) #booksky #interrail
sublime 70s!!
It’s amazing to think that until 1962, you could travel by train from Norway to Syria, Lebanon and Iraq with only 2 changes (Paris & Istanbul)! #travel #trains
I remember seeing this fabulous departure board at London Victoria station when I was a kid. I still find it a thrill… maybe I need to get out more… 🤔 Happy bank holiday weekend! #interrail #traintravel
It's not unlike watching current coverage of net zero or the EU prior to 2016 or Boris Johnson's ascent to power or Liz Truss taking control of the Treasury or Donald Trump etc etc.
The BBC should be a bulwark against obvious propaganda & demonstrable lies, not an 'impartial' chronicler of it...

Arrived in Sighisoara (Romania) at 7.30am and was up in the hills hiking by 8.30. Rewarded with my first ever bear sighting.
First thought - take a photo. Second thought - bears are dangerous, sneak away before it eats you!! #hiking #sighisoara #romania #eurorail #interrail

The way the entire British media is suddenly discussing 'two tier policing' as if it is a real thing worth seriously debating, rather than the obvious far-right white supremacist fantasy it has always been, is very alarming

Made in Bury: Victoria Wood (1953-2016) was one of the greatest comic talents the north has produced, which is saying a lot. She was widely admired as a stand-up comedian, singer and songwriter, TV dramatist and actor. 1/10
