Special Event

It's Awdry weekend on the Talyllyn, celebrating our connection with the Rev'd Awdry, author of the Thomas The Tank Engine books, who was a volunteer here in the 1950's and 60's.   It attracts enthusiasts from all over the world, the rare chance to see the Rev'd's own model engines and to ride on a railway that features in some of the stories, a great draw.   There were a good few who came in costume, representing characters from the books.  Happy, colourful and not a little eccentric :-)   The weather deteriorated as the day went on, but failed to dampen enthusiasm.   Tomorrow promises better.   Needless to say it was a very full on day in the cafe, as busy as it ever gets.

After work I was fed by Jamie and spent the evening at his.   On the way back I picked up some nice finished pieces from pottery before walking Meg.  It rained again but not as much as above.   Tomorrow we do it all again - in sunshine :-)
