New Year's Day!

Today we went to the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley for a New Year's Day Steam Train Ride

We took the 12.30




It was so so cold out so the steam looked fantastic, curling around the old train




We left Butterley Station on our round trip




E made a train-and-carriage of her own with the tickets




The inside of the train was wonderful






So was the view outside





Everything was so frosty and silvery, it looked magical mingling with the steam from the train





We stopped at Swanwick Junction, where they have a museum and other things to do


including Brittain Pit Farm:

(a farm built on the site of an old pit)


where they have rabbits, ducks, geese, and a goat in a coat


Then it was time to go back up the line to Butterley













Hope you had a wonderful first day of the year!
