She was. Even had her house guests shoved in our direction to help lay the track! Sadly, I believe she's moved on now.

I've dug out a couple of pictures of the Bodiam relay. That was November 1998, it may be slightly different this time. [ATTACH] This is the '7' jig that was used, so you dropped down the 4, then reverse a bit, and then drop the other 3....

I was on the first train that day, aged nine. It was the only railway event that my dad ever took me to - and here is my ticket (actually my dad's in all probability) to prove it[ATTACH] A day I remember well Peter
