Pat and Ronald Thomas (do not live) in a caravan, but their home (travels)
more miles than any other house in Britain! Their house (is made) from a
pair of Victorian railway carriages, and they (have lived) there for ten
years. ‘I (did not want) to live in a train at first,’ admits Pat, ’but when
I (saw) that this train had a garden with a stream, I just (fell) in
love with it. We (bought) it from an old lady, and she had already (done) a lot
of work on it. But there is a lot left to do and we are still (making)
improvements.’
Visitors are often (surprised) to see how spacious the
house is. All the dividing walls (have been removed), so now the rooms are about
fifteen metres long.
Pat and Ronald (paid) £68,000 for their house. Recently they (have been offered) more than £100,000 for it, but it’s not for sale.
‘I (am discovering) more and more about the history of this train all the
time,’ says Ronald. ‘It (was built) in Swindon between 1855 and 1875. We
(have been working) so hard to make it beautiful that I don’t think we will ever (sell)
it,’ he admits. ‘I hope it (remains) in our family forever’.
