After spending so many birthdays alone…I was PROMISED (about 100 years ago) that…THAT year I’d be spending my birthday week on the above train. London to Paris. Paris to Istanbul.

I had the REAL vintage clothes …….being a dealer! 30’s gowns and jewellery and gloves and hats and shoes and bags!

Except – there was a tiny flaw in the future fake promise.

The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express doesn’t operate after mid-November!

Heyho.

I blame Agatha Christie and her story about the snow in Europe in winter :o(
