In Between Days

Wednesday.

Wash day.

The weather was good enough 

 to dry it outside. 

The air purifier came really early just as we had breakfast. It's quite a large unit, bit so far so good, the test will come with the morning if we wake up with clear nasal passages. We both suffer from blocked airwaves. 

Charlotte was here by 11am for coffee and by then Kev had got all the washing done. 

After coffee we went for the bus to The Shepherds and had lunch. We all had a carvery as Kev had a voucher for money off. After eating we sat outside as it was lovely. It made such a nice change to be able to sit outside. 

We watched a Grimlife Collective stream where they traced what is left of the Necropolis Railway, stretches of it and the actual railway building survive, it's just inaccessible to the general public. It's such a shame that instead of boarding it up and letting it rot is cheaper than clearing the way and making a museum out of it. We never take our history seriously unless is about the monarchy. If the sorted it out they could charge for people to see the building and what remains of the tracks. I'd love to wander around something so unique as a train station for the dead. Brookwood Cemetary itself is gorgeous and I'm surprised given the fact that it has open days and a " friends of Brookwood cemetery" group they didn't make what's left of the railway more of a feature. Once again it's cheaper to let it rot that preserve what's there. If you've never heard of the Necropolis Railway Google it, it is fascinating.
