A day with the models!

At the weekend we donned our family anorak and took ourselves to Exeter to the 'Garden Railway' show. This was a show encompassing all things model railways, some that ran on steam, some electric, some that ran in gardens, some belonging in the archetypal hobby attic - whichever category they fell into the enthusiasm of the creators was infectious, the attention to detail incredible. Amos was absolutely fascinated (as was my husband who has since enthused about building one of his own!) We were there for most of the day and although Amos was not at liberty to touch the models or play with them they provided enough entertainment to keep him happy for the majority of the day.

There seem to be a good number of 'garden railway' groups around the country and they often have fundraising events, I highly recommend it as a wonderful day out for your little ones......although toddlers in particular will need to understand that looking is done with the eyes!!:)
