Saturday 26th June

On Saturday we drove to Riddle to look around the museum and ride on the steam train. Unfortunately, as we set off a boat came, and they had to open the bridge. We had to wait for it to pass but it meant that we all got to ride on the train twice and look on the footplate on the steam train! Everyone agreed that we had a great day, and that evening we went out for a lovely Italian meal.
