So as mentioned yesterday, I went to the Plym Valley Railway yesterday to see what is apparently a bit of a celeb in the world of diesel engines - the 50 017 Royal Oak!
To be honest, I'm not really into trains, but I do find the steam ones much prettier than the diesels to look at, and the steam smells so much nicer. My little girl loved the ride though and by Christmas, the railway hope to open all the way to Plym Bridge - effectively doubling the length of the journey - whoop!! On a more disappointing note, I didn't get to have my piece of cake - we ran out of available funds, so as a compromise we went to supermarket and bought a Vienetta instead - YUM!!
Weather in the Southwest is awful today, so spending the bank holiday chilling inside, although I have been persuaded to run a half marathon next year, so my rather half-hearted training for that will continue today with my second (ever) run - I think I must be mad, although I do like running in the rain as there are not as many people out and about to laugh at my feeble attempts :) Will have to keep you updated on my training progress.
Speak later x
