I have an envelope with a card inside which says 'train' on it. I haven't yet worked out what it refers to! But I am still going through his books and maps and albums - so I am hopeful for something still to come! (I've done all 12 of the big ones. This one I think was for when he was still alive!)

St Augustine was a bit of a git - but I do like the thing he's credited with saying - solvitur ambulando- meaning, it is solved by walking. I'm not always able to go very far or at all but I appreciate this none the less
