I called in here in the hope of finding refreshment and getting some nice snaps. The sign on the main road indicated that steam trains were running that day so the chance of refreshments seemed high.

A dramatic sky even though I was bathed in sunshine.

It was all looking immaculate.

The promised steam train.

Steam engines still hold interest for little boys - and their grandfathers - and even their grandmothers!

At last the refreshment - and well worth waiting for.
