A thoroughly enjoyable day!

It was a  Bank Holiday Monday so in true UK tradition it rained but luckily not until after the days events at the Rocks By Rail Museum. Blueish skies for moat of the day made a brake van ride all the more pleasant - not that I had a chance to do that!

As has become the norm I was shunting along with Dan, John Martyn and Rob and I think we gave our guests a great day - they certainly seemed interested in what was going on and came up to the quarry no doubt informed of what was going on my loyal blog reader Mrs. B who was doing Front Of House and welcoming everyone

The two jokers - Rob and Dan!

As you can tell it was a thoroughly enjoyable day! And to top it off we even had a Miss England semi finalist visit. No idea of her name but she was a very nice lady and was looking round the Museum with her agent who is interested in railways. We all wished her well in the finals on the 3 October and maybe we will have a future Miss England winner visit us after that!
