Wednesday 1st January 2014 ~ Today was New Year's Day! As a treat Mummy and Daddy took me for a trip on the Epping - Ongar Railway. We caught an old Routemaster bus to the station...
And ran through the rain to climb aboard a diesel engine.
Mummy went and got sandwiches for our journey, but I'd brought my packed lunch and was keen to get started. Locomotion please!
Although, when I saw that there was hot chocolate, I made allowances for the delay and helped Mummy drink it.
When we got to Ongar Mummy and Me posed for a picture in front of the restored ticket office while Daddy chomped down mince pies.
Just as I was beginning to wonder how we were going to get home there was an almighty rush of steam and an old engine arrived puffing and chuffing.
Mummy set off to take photos of the train, while I waited inside with Daddy. Here's me peeking out.
And here's me waving with Daddy. First Class!
With a toot of the whistle we were on our way. I was so excited and happy that I spent the journey home climbing all over the place. Daddy said I was real rascal, but Mummy said we hadn't seen anything yet. I wonder what she means... Happy New Year!
