GWR 175th Birthday - Sunday 30.5.10


Sunday and the vase of flowers is wilting. 


The new ones look beautiful.


Bank Holiday Sunday, the sun's shining, my dad's here. 

WHATDYOUDO?

GO SEE TRAINS

OBVIOUSLY!

This was the event we went to enjoy.


I took a lot of photos. Wont write much today, just enjoy the show....





This is the only block of writing - Promise!

Our first journey of the day took us to TODDINGTON and back. We stayed in the carriage because the conversation, IN OUR COSY COMPARTMENT, was SO GOOD. Us and 2 couples, one, the wife, blonde and slim, from Surrey/Sussex the other, the wife too, big and a great ice breaker (pun intended), from Malvern, and Lucy the Black,Curly Coated Collie Dog. What are the chances of finding two such brilliant women, strangers to each other and us, in such a confined space. A space normally reserved for the British reserve, became the home of an out and out laughathon. They would be the sort of women to spend a day with, if you could stand the pain in your ribs from laughing so much. Our 3 husbands, to a man, were very quiet and very pleasant...... 

INTERESTING




Train's coming!










Shame the ice cream wasn't as old school as the vehicle.


Brunel; party wig, liquorice pipe and a stove hat that looked as though he'd slept in it - 
ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR








LOVE THIS WOMAN


DIRTY GIRL!!!




PEOPLE WATCHING







Hopper stylee





Dad and MeWally hanging around, waiting for the next train.


Looks like the end of shift for this happy volunteer. She'd obviously had a good day.

Our train - last run of the day


Retro interior: worth considering at home?











Looking out of the windows.








View from inside the drivers cabin (?)


We stopped on the way home to grab these shots of the High Cottswolds, near Naunton.










Finished the day with Fish and Chips and a bottle of wine.

The Twins came over to entertain us. Mum came too, but was very nervous, so no decent piccy of the 3 of them together   

 YET




Thirsty work all this being fed by humans.
