Hi All.
We have had the best weekend. We have had a couple of amazing sunsets to gladden the heart and to set up a perfect weekend. The plan with being at Shackerstone, was to go and play at the railway station.
Saturday, we were hoping to go on the steam train, but sadly it was not running due to a lack of crew, so instead they put on a diesel DMU.
We spent most of the day riding up and down the Shackerstone preserved railway in the guards van, with our friend Rod, who was on guard duty for the day. We, enjoyed lunch and drinks in the cafe. I can recommend their pasties, they were amazing and they come with a salad for £3.95. We literally spent all day at the station from 10 am till 5 pm and had a blast.
Today (Sunday), we got to play with steam. We had pre-booked our tickets, so were very pleased the steam loco 419 was on and we got to have a trip down to Shenton and back.
Shackerston station has been got its bunting up for the Jubilee this coming week. There were a lot of people there today enjoying a Sunday Roast and trip on the steam loco, we enjoyed day 2 and another pasty. We both love steam and railways. I was definitely in my element.
The carriage we sat in, felt like being in a Harry Potter film, we just needed the sweet trolley to come along. A brilliant weekend was had.
