Ruth was a bit scared on the way up the mountain, because there was a lot of noise and steam. But she soon recovered to sing her favourite train song all the way down. We had a really nice picnic afterwards, with Ruth continuing to shout "choo choo train!" urgently whenever a train went past. And this was pretty often as the organisers had struck upon the brilliant idea of not just regular trips up the mountain, but also a steam train shuttle to the car park to keep kids happy. The icing on the cake was the fact that Thomas the Tank Engine - yes, the Thomas - was visiting this week. Ruth doesn't know who he is, but hey, another choo choo train has to be good news, right?
