Train Ride

I decided to brave it and took the girls to see my Mum on the train, they were really well behaved and coped well with the long journey so we will definitely be doing it again ;) My Mum was SO pleased to see them too - and we even got to spend the day with my Niece Katie...... we had a lovely day, the weather was fab too and the girls all played in the garden. My Mum was looking a little better when we saw her today..... and was over the moon to see the girls.... smiles all round which has to be the best medicine ever :)

We had a fab trip on the way out, managed to find our seats and were all sat together round a table - which is fab - although we were in the 'Quiet' Coach - but the girls coped well and were quiet as mice all the way there, there were whispering to each other and being SOOOO quiet I was very proud of them... I was a bit miffed however that they had reserved us seats in the 'Quiet' coach.... but ho hum..... we then came to find our seats on the way back - the train was packed and our seats were very spread out and had someone else sitting in them... so we decided to go and hunt for some spare seats closer together... thats when the fun began, the train was hurtling along, the little ones were falling all over the show, we treked from coach to coach and eventually ended up in the 'Quiet' coach again... with 4 seats together but facing the wrong way...... Chloe soon began to feel sick so we decided at the next stop to find our seats and move the people that were in them.... so off we go again..... we ended up waiting in the restaurant coach with the friendly guy in there - and we got talking - and thats when we found out that the 'Quiet' coach just means no music or phones... BUT you CAN talk...... how funny....
