Waiting.....

....waiting, waiting, a day which turned to disappointment as the arrival of two heritage engines on their way to Weka Pass were running rather late.

Mum and I waited for over an hour, we'd already been into Christchurch to visit R, had lunch and returned home just to see these engines but.....after an hour we decided to go and do our groceries. Of course just as we were coming out of the supermarket we could hear the engines were leaving Kaiapoi, they were running over 2 hours behind time. We quickly flung our groceries into the car and took off home but......the traffic was slow, we got every red light possible.....we just weren't meant to see these engines today, we were most disappointed.

Instead of blipping two very fine heritage engines which have been totally restored, you have our local station which is now a cafe with a young lass taking a break and checking her phone, totally oblivious to what we were waiting for.

Wednesday......down at the local station, winter sun on our backs, warm and calm, 14C.....waiting, waiting, waiting.....

Happy Wednesday everyone :)
