Love those train rides for your car - such a foreign concept to me! Bummer it was raining a bit, but something tells me that won't slow you guys down.

I love the shot of Wendy in the back seat of the car---on the train. She looks so happy (or bemused?) to be transported all around England, Scotland and now France!

I think it was probably a bit of both!

Well... It's about time!
I'm waiting to hear about France. I can't imagine where Wendy got that title, but it probably had something to do with some Englishers!

Besides the rain, sounds like a good start to the day. Thanks for the photos. I didn't realize you sit in your car during the ride. Are you able to get out if you want? Are there seats you could go to if you wanted? Being in your own car allows that extra privacy to talk about what you want or listen to music. I assume everyone shuts the engine off so no heat or AC if the temperature got too hot or cold???
