We are embracing retirement, and making the most of it.

We knew we were never going to sit still for long, so whilst we are happy and healthy we will be out and about seeing the world………… full time.

We are out of the fast lane and taking the slow road ahead

Fun Fact #7 Bob the Railway Dog

Bob



What a great morning walk.......
Peterborough in SA is a town that loves its railway history and the home base for Bob the railway dog. He hitched daily rides on trains on the South Australian Railway, sometimes as far as Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.  He had no one master, and went home with the Engine Driver of the day. Bob was born  c1878 and died July 1895.

We came across this true story as we walked along Peterborough’s main street. Monument and story board.



He had his own Postcards
