What a contrast to yesterday, weather was mild, sunny and dry.
Was a long day at 12 hours on the A1 Tornado Steam Train return trip to Plymouth. Enjoyed the company of Jean & Doug who have longed to experiance such a trip, thinking it would not be possible given their age (both well into the 80's) and wonky knees. We assured them it was possible with help and we thouroughly enjoyed their company. I am amazed at Steam Dreams organising, it was 100%, a brilliant day.
