We did indeed and yes, it does come and go quickly. There's summat nostalgic about preserved railways and always a treat when they have an event! We're not 'anoraks' really - honest! Chlo says woof! (she's asleep for a change). Next post is last weekend's walk to Bronte Falls - Clo (sheepface we call, as she is fscinated 'em) graced us with her company and Markie fell over more than once (as he does!) but we all laughed (including Clo) xxx
