Blue Bell Railway Sussex

---

Last day today, we go on the coach from Brighton to Heathrow at 7.55am tomorrow. Carol is making us some cheese scones for the trip, just in case we get the munchies on the way. Today was a beautiful day,29 degrees, a scorcher for this part of the world. We made the most of it and went to see the Bluebell Railway with Carol and Ernie. Love those steam trains! Enjoy the pics, see you back in Oz. Byee.

The carriage, lined with mahogany and sycamore panelling, they don't make them like this anymore. Can't beat plastic can you!
