We chose to tick off British Rail as a means to travelling to Downham Market for their St George’s Day celebrations. On the platform to take the 1156 departure, Sam was holding The Banner while I manned the camera. On cue, a party of Yummy Mummies with their children walked by and there issued forth such a blast of “ooooh” and “ahhhhhh” and “Look, how lovely” that you’d think they were watching The Biggest, Poshest Fireworks Display, EVER! One of the Yms offered to snap the pic, and her shot is reproduced here. Thanks Yummy Mummies!
In Downham we were a little late for the events, as most of the fun happened in the morning. That’s not gone well…..
Still, Downham Market has several nice charity shops which we regularly visit, so all was not lost. We found some new videos, and Sam unearthed a Playmobil 4X4 - he has a nice collection of Playmobil toys at his mum’s house, so that’s where the new find will live. We even found one of my favourite films (which I will be watching tonight) - Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure - it’s a fab film but WHY OH WHY did they steal the title from the name of our blog?
In Downham’s fabulous traditional sweet shop Sam bagged up some pick’n’mix while I splashed out on Fruit Salad and Black Jacks - much more expensive these days at 2p apiece!
And thus back to Lynn. Not the most exciting trip that we’ll make in the pursuit of our quest, but another railway ticked and done.
Three down, ten to go….
