Something Old...

Something Old - Most post boxes bear the E II R logo of Queen Elizabeth II. But some go back to the days of her father, King George VI, who reigned from 1936 to 1952. Such is the case for this one, which is actually the closest letter drop to our flat, located about 5 minutes south of the train station.



Something New - They were still working on this "gateway" to Woking when we arrived in the summer, and it was completed in the fall. While it doesn't do much for me, all of the solar panels in the roof make it quite environmentally friendly, and that was enough to warrant a visit from Prince Charles near the start of the project. It links the north side of the train station (left) with the south side of the town centre (right).



Something Borrowed - This came from Nicolas, Helen, and their son Samuel for Shelly's visit. Nicolas works at King's College London, and they all live about a 30 minute walk north of our flat. Helen and Nicolas provided a wealth of information before our England adventure even began, and have been just as helpful to this day. Plus, they're really nice people with which to spend time!



Something Blue - Signs like this are all around town. It's hard to get lost! From where I was standing, the town centre is to the left (west). What you can't see are the markers pointing north to the Basingstoke Canal, or south to the train station. Ready to draw a map of Woking?
