Rail Day Out

Mary Queen of Scots

On Tuesday Matt and Tom decided to have a rail day out so that I could prepare for Christmas.  They headed over to Carnforth so they could get the train to Ravenglass and back - that way they can ride on Tom's favourite train the Class 37.


I stayed at home, took delivery of the Christmas Asda order and then cooked:
+ A ham
+ Christmas red cabbage
+ Cranberry sauce
+ 2 x large lasagnas
As well as tea for the evening - phew.

At Barrow

The boys' plan didn't got exactly to plan.  The second Class 37 broke down, so we only got as far as Barrow and then went back to Carnforth for lunch, after which we headed to the shore at Hest Bank for a bit of kite flying while we watched some trains. All good fun, but our hands were frozen after about 15 minutes, so we headed home via the new link road (once I'd eventually found it).
