Summer holiday train adventures...

The day that dreams and living finally meet,
Bags packed and checked again the night before,
An early start along our quiet street.
The platform slips away, our eyes explore,
The fields through which we slice our racing arcs,
On our adventure to some distant shore.
Towards the blooms of well-kept seaside parks,
Or wild seas, and waving grass and sand,
And wind gnarled trees with lovely weathered barks.
To airports and far garden wonderlands,
Of sun-baked colours sharply shining out,
To houseplants resting in their native lands,
To memories we wouldn't be without.

This border celebrates the adventure of summer holiday train travel.
A steel arc of track carries us though planting which celebrates both
the British seaside and more exotic destinations.
The planting design came out of work as a station adopter with the
Greater Anglia network, developing reliable planting for sun-baked
station platforms where watering was difficult.
