Steam engines on Easter Sunday.

We went to the East Somerset Railway yesterday, courtesy of Grandma Margaret and Grandad Roger.
They had bought us a ride on a steam train which was very cool, it was just like being in 'The Railway Children', we really should have worn long dresses with crisp white aprons and white gloves and bonnets.
(Marc would have looked lovely in a bonnet)

Fred was visiting us for the weekend (our first London visitor) so she came too.

Here are a few photographs.

This is the engine that pulled our carriages up the line and back again.
The girls don't very often get to go on trains so it was probably a bit strange for them at first.
This is the engine that you could drive for a fiver.

Here is Marc being a driver for a fiver.
Here is Fred about to be run over.
Here is Daisy with a certificate saying that she and Iris drove the engine.
Fred and me had a turn on the engine and we went with them so that the engine could be refilled with water.
Fred didn't turn the tap off quick enough so the water went everywhere but i was laughing too much to take a photograph at the time.
