Meeting my Waterloo.....train (counting the days!!)

Not long to go before I travel to Paris to pick up the covers and carry them back on the last train to Waterloo - and I can't wait!!!!!

I know that in my last entry, I promised to write one of my usual chatty letters but having realised what time I need to get up that day, and what time I'll get home, there probably won't be much about the journey itself. Aside from the fact that it'll be dark before I start my return journey, I'll probably be asleep for much of it (I'll need to get up very early to catch 7.00am train to London, to give me plenty of time to check in, and look to get home between 10.30 - 11.00pm!!) All in all, a very long day.

I will try to include as much as I can about Paris, and any interesting things that happen when I travel around Paris, to pick up the covers. I'll also take my camera (I never go abroad without it) so I'll include a few photos of Paris, and try to get some good pictures of the Eurostar. I can't guarantee good quality though - I tried to get a picture of a Eurostar as it left the Gare du Nord, back in April but I ended up with a grey, white & yellow blur. I haven't quite mastered the art of photographing moving trains, but I'm working on it. Aside from getting a decent photo for you, I'd like one for my own collection!

We will also try to get some of the covers signed - but we can't promise anything. I'm told that these won't be driver signed - as the correct term is PILOT. You learn something new every day!

A bientôt,


Sarah
