CMF2 – Day 19

We all went to the local Show in the morning. The weather was lovely.

On the way we stopped in at the station in time to see the Barwell Bull pulling out for it’s run to Woolshed Flat. We chased it a little, managed to get in front of it and stopped to watch it pass at one of the crossings off the main road.

Ran into some of the locals I hadn’t seen in many years. The boys had fun on the jumping castles. They each ate 3 sausages with bread and sauce for lunch.

We went over to the railway station to try and get a look at the steam train, but the engine was up at the sheds. We had an unexpected invitation for a short ride to the sheds and back as they were putting the carriages away from the Barwell Bull. The kids had a ball. My brother has offered to pay for us all to go on the train sometime.

We ended up leaving a bit later than we were planning at around 2pm. We shared the driving and stopped about half way for toilets and eats.

We arrived home just after 7pm, so it was a rush to get the kids fed, bathed and into bed.
