My model Khyber railway train wasn't finished for the anniversary

#Skegness feels like if Wetherspoon's ran an entire town. There's nothing wrong with it, it's popular, it's making good use of Victorian buildings and it's very affordable. But I've spent all weekend on my phone wondering if there is something a bit better nearby...

To the wonderful #Maidstone carriage #museum, which I only recently heard about. It deserves to be much better known.

Telepathic lesbians! Scandalous Bohemians (the arty sort, not Czechs)! Sub-Wodehouse idle rich Englishmen! Nouveau riche Americans! To be honest #ThePrincessDaphne is hard work. The "longwinded dialogue" to "actual story" ratio is very Victorian. It feels like three separate books got tangled up.
