I am a
bit behind with my blogs because my friend Karen has been staying
with us for a few days.
While
she was here she picked up a book of the town where we lived in
England many years ago. As she read out bits and pieces and asked
questions I realized I know a fair amount about “then “ but not
much about “now” of the place where I grew up.
We
don't always realize that change is happening on a continual basis
until we look back over the years at old photos. A good thing to do
once in a while.
Brand new train |
While
she was here we visited Denton, TX the small town close to us. It has
recently started the railway service with a brand new train that
travels into Dallas . Most of these small towns around here were
originally linked by the railway but like many other things over the
recent years disappeared. So we were please to see the brand new
station and shiny new train.
Maybe
one day we will ride on it to the big city!!

Schomberg used to have a train station and line, it lasted about 20 years and then the Automobile arrived.
