This is the third year in a row, I have done Belgium in November. This year it’s via a two day stop in London and the Eurostar. It started on Bonfire Night morning in the pouring South Wales rain. The John Wallace Linton in Newport. A FGW 125 to Paddington. A pint of 5 AM Saint in the Beer House at Paddington. On the the Hammersmith and City line to Kings Cross and a quick visit to Fullers – The Parcel Yard.
