Stories from Spain nu 2 ...... the explosion

Now one if the fascinating things about the blog is that it travels and increasingly it brings forth fresh stories.

So here is one from my new friend Emma.

"This is just a personal story, but reminded the other day mentioning the walls of houses falls. 

I worked nearly two years in a small company in which they were painted shirts and signs. Every day I left my house at 6:20 to catch the train in time to go to work 7:00. 

One day we were told that the next day at 8:00 saluted as they once did in the winter. That same morning, soon, an explosion was heard near my home and then report because here the ETA attacks (terrorist group) were still expected. 

It was not a bomb. 

It was a gas cylinder which exploded in an old house that I used to pass just at that moment. 

I believe that fate has saved my life. 

The most incredible thing is that man, I think he was older, saved because at that time was sitting on a couch."

Storie dalla Spagna nu 2 ...... l'esplosione

Ora, una delle cose affascinanti sul blog è che viaggia e sempre più si porta avanti storie fresche.

Così qui è uno dalla mia nuova amica Emma.

"Ciao. Questa è solo una storia personale, ma ha ricordato l'altro giorno menzionando i muri delle case cadute. Ho lavorato quasi due anni in una piccola azienda in cui sono state dipinte camicie e segni. 

Ogni giorno ha lasciato la mia casa alle 06:20 per prendere il treno in tempo per andare a lavorare 07:00. 

Un giorno ci hanno detto che il giorno dopo alle 8:00 salutò come facevano una volta in inverno. Quella stessa mattina, presto, una esplosione è stata sentita vicino a casa mia .Miré l'orologio (06:22) per segnalare poi perché qui gli attacchi ETA (gruppo terroristico) erano ancora attesi. Non era una bomba. 

E 'stata una bombola di gas è esplosa in una vecchia casa che ho usato per spendere solo in quel momento. Credo che il destino mi ha salvato la vita. La cosa più incredibile è che l'uomo, credo che era più vecchio, salvato perché in quel momento era seduto su un divano che si trovava nel piccolo piano di sopra che era senza affondare."

Ghost signs from Spain

Now you can never get enough ghost signs, and it seems nor does my new friend Emma who lives in Spain.

So having read a story on a ghost sign from Chorlton yesterday she found one just round the corner from where she lives.

It says “Daily” and Emma went on to say that,"I  found one that is next to my house. I bought this dairy retirement until it closed about twenty years.

Now the owner, Amparo (Amparito) lives with his sister, also very old in the adjoining house. Not if the local is still yours but I know that nobody uses"

And that is about all I have to say, except thank you to Emma.

segni fantasma dalla Spagna

Ora non si può mai ottenere abbastanza segni di fantasmi, e sembra che né la mia nuova amica Emma che vive in Spagna.

Quindi, dopo aver letto una storia su un cartello fantasma da Chorlton ieri ha trovato un proprio dietro l'angolo da dove vive.

Si dice "Daily" e questo è tutto quello che ho da dire, tranne che grazie a Emma.

A story from Spain ......... from Emma

Now I like the way the blog crosses countries and continents.

I first met Emma after she had sent me a postcard destined for Chorlton which never left Spain.

It had made its way to a paper factory and there hung a series of stories.

And as ever I asked Emma if she would like to add some stories and pictures, and this is the first, featuring the railway museum near where she lives.

It has to be said that her English is better than my Spanish but with the help of google translate we will there there.

Added to which just for that bit of fun it is being posted twice.  Once in English and once in what I hope is not so bad Spanish.

Well I hope so.

She commented that “the prices are usually too high but it is easy to find weird things and even if only to see the trains it's worth it to see it. 

If you only to see the museum that better not be when it's the fair because one of the trains is coffee shop and you can take something in a wagon of old style.”

And I have to say that her pictures capture perfectly the sort of railway museum I would love to visit.
Here are a selection of the locomotives and rolling stock reflecting everything from the height of luxury down to the messy and dirty end or railways.

And as someone who likes all sorts of museums it is interesting to see how other cities and countries do it.

But of course where ever you go you can be sure that there will a shop and a cafe and that if you have kids you are unlikely to escape without spending lots of money.

So over the next few weeks I will be featuring more of the pictures of the museum and I hope other photographs and stories from Emma.

Una historia de España .......... por Emma

Ahora me gusta la forma en que cruza el blog países y continentes.

Conocí a Emma después de que me había enviado una postal con destino a Chorlton, que nunca salió de España.

Se había hecho su camino a una fábrica de papel y hay colgado una serie de historias.

Y como siempre me pregunté Emma si le gustaría añadir algunas historias e imágenes, y esta es la primera, con el museo ferroviario cerca de donde vive.

Tiene que ser dicho que su Inglés es mejor que mi español pero con la ayuda del traductor Google nos voluntad hay allí.

Añadido a la que sólo por eso poco de diversión que está siendo publicado dos veces. Una vez en Inglés y

una vez en lo que espero no es tan malo español.

Bueno, eso espero.

Ella comentó que "los precios suelen ser demasiado alto, pero es fácil de encontrar cosas extrañas y aunque sólo sea para ver los trenes que vale la pena verlo.

Si sólo permite ver el museo que mejor no ser cuando se trata de la feria porque uno de los trenes es una cafetería y se puede tomar algo en un vagón de estilo antiguo ".

Y tengo que decir que sus imágenes captan perfectamente el tipo de museo del ferrocarril Me encantaría visitar.

Aquí hay una selección de las locomotoras y material rodante que refleja todo, desde la altura de lujo hasta el final o ferrocarriles desordenado y sucio.


Y como alguien que le gusta todo tipo de museos que es interesante ver cómo otras ciudades y países lo hacen.

Pero, por supuesto, donde quiera que vaya, puede estar seguro de que no va a una tienda y una cafetería y que si usted tiene niños que tienen pocas probabilidades de escapar sin tener que gastar un montón de dinero.

Por eso, durante las próximas semanas voy a estar con más de los cuadros del museo y espero que otras fotografías e historias de Emma.
