What a fantastic sight, an old locomotive bursting out of the cloud of steam it has just created as it chugs up to the platform at Alresford Station.

We were on the platform sitting eating a bacon bap and drinking tea and coffee at 9.30am due to Murphy having an early haircut. It was great to watch the day start up in the 1950's.

Once we had collected him it was off home so that some furniture and junk could go to the recycling centre.

It's been a lovely day just being and doing.
