I'm glad you included the map and a description of train/road travel as I had begun to ask that same question as I read the letter. When I looked at the country lane in your second photo, I recognized a detail I had not thought about. Today a narrow dirt road has two tracks for car/truck tires. But in this photo there are three. The outer two are marks of wagon wheels and the center "lane" is where the horse trod!Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107217787612960844.post-74399768713993799782022-11-27T18:04:24.531+01:002022-11-27T18:04:24.531+01:00Thanks Kathy.

Always a balance how much background to keep repeating, though!
