Inspired by Portillo

One of my guilty pleasures is to get home from work, make a cuppa & enjoy a half hour episode of Michael Portillo’s train journey series! He first went roaming around the UK but once he’d exhausted our tracks, he took his pastel coloured blazers, his guidebook and his eccentricities across the Atlantic to North America. 

So, inspired by one of his routes, I took the journey to Kingston where I enjoyed boats, history and more blue skies (with the exception of my final day when the heavens opened on my trek to the train station!) I went across to visit Fort Henry (although wasn’t expecting to be able to fire a canon as Michael had done!) However, I did wander into the graduation ceremony of the Royal Military College. No idea if I was supposed to be there or not, but was quite the spectacle!
