Since the beginning of the summer the cultural life has exploded in England- various
festivals, attracting hundreds of locals and tourists, are organised every weekend. Last
Sunday I went to the small town of Alton, Hampshire where I witnessed "War on the
Line" and got transported back to the 1940s. It was quite fascinating to have a ride on
an old steam train, mingle with civilian and military re-enactors and explore period
displays, singing, dancing and vintage vehicles. I have to admit that British people know
how to keep their traditions and past alive.
