And tapestry work can attract serious interest - when I was looking to rehome my grandmother's work, someone drove 50-odd miles to collect (via Freecycle). Having worked in a heritage railway's fundraiser (sorry awl!) I was often surprised at what sold. Freecycle is free, so you can always ask/try. Sorry for my long-winded last one - In short, I agree with White Rabbit! regards cs 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I was in a Walmart store today - in western Canada! - and the muzak started to play “Hippy Hippy Shake” by the Swinging Blue Jeans. There’s a blast from the past! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if it is the Seikan N.R. rail ferries that crossed the Tsugaru Strait from Hokkaido to Honshu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if it is the Seikan N.R. rail ferries that crossed the Tsugaru Strait from Hokkaido to Honshu. The period, according to the information plate, was 1930 - 1945 and it was a freight service. I don’t recall what the ports of call were. As I am back in Tokyo from the 14th onwards (I’m in Hokkaido 7th - 14th) I may just return to the museum (I was fighting jet lag yesterday) if I do, I’ll get better pictures and also photograph the passenger service ship run by one of the Japanese Railways.
