What a fantastic (if stressful) trip! I absolutely feel you on evocative childhood memories of trains, sleeper trains in particular--there's just something unique and special about having a BED on a TRAIN, along with the accompanying bells and whistles.
I agree entirely with your son about the sausage rolls!
the typical battle kit of a Jacobite soldier vs an English soldier vs an English officer. I thought this was very interesting! Those are really neat details! Perfect for fiction writing, and/or just imagining the times.
I'm glad you and yours were okay amid flooding, but sorry it was so tiresome. Hoping the next stage of your trip has been equally fun but less soggy!
