Where are you from?

[andrew hogarth]

Brusselton, north east England, this is a tiny hamlet of 7 cottages however it was the start of the world's first passenger journey in 1825 (as in that's where the passengers first boarded). The train free wheeled down the hill before starting the Darlington to Stockton bit, which is usually acknowledged as the first part.

The Engine House on the plaque is still there (it too is a house) although the chimney has gone, I live in the engineman's cottage next door. The line has gone but many of the stone blocks still remain in the ground which the rails were fixed to, pre sleepers times, that's them in the snow

This area is one of the 'cradles' of the railways.

I'm from the Netherlands, Enschede (east part) and now for several months in South Korea (Seoul).

Nice to see all the pictures from all over the world and also funny that people are on this forum from all over the world!

. . . The best part of winter here in upstate NY is spending a few weeks in the Bahamas like my wife and I are doing later this month.

Oh I am definitely envious!

I never understood what a "snowbird" was until I moved up here and watched my retired neighbors all leave for Florida on Jan 1 and return Mar 1......I'm thinking they had the right idea after all..

I live in Tallahassee, Florida, the state capital. It's in the upper panhandle and looks more like southern Georgia than Florida (more live oak trees with moss than palm trees). Before that I lived in State College, PA, and Baltimore, MD. I am a native Texan, I grew up in Houston.

I think it's great to hear where people are from, as I often wonder when reading the blogs.

Oh yeah, Devault is up in Charlestown Township, right? Our kids went to school for a few years in Kimberton and lots of their friends lived up around there, so we know the area well. I ride my bike up in there too. Not so much on Route 29, but lots of the pretty backroads up there.

Yeah, tough winter. Two in a row, but who's counting?
