Halloween is fast approaching. Our friends a Amerton Farm (we recently had a members’ visit there) have asked me to publicise their Halloween events. Details on the Amerton Farm website.
Similarly, I have also been asked to mention the Palace on Wheels. This is a luxury train service operating in India. Once again, consult their website for full details.
