A nice local weekend

sally_mariaIt was quiet yesterday and I wasn't down to work all day anyway, so my manager sent me home an hour or so early. It was such a nice day (not hot, but sunny and warm enough) it seemed to shame to head straight home to glue myself to the internet.
So I decided to have a coffee in my favourite local tea shop, the one that sells Winstones Ice Cream. :-) It's on Hailes St - I think - one of the interesting quirks of Winchcombe is that the main street has 3 or 4 different names as it goes through the (fairly small) town. Then I took the route back home through the houses and along the side of the river, which was a very pleasant walk.
Encouraged by the continued good weather, and the great news that our local heritage railway has made the money it needs to complete repairs to the landslip on the line that happened a couple of years ago, I decided to pay them a visit and enjoy the countryside from a steam train.
Oh and take pictures of the engine for my Tumblr blog. :-)
It's great to see them doing well, and I'm looking forward hopefully to the day when I might be able to get the train to Broadway, or even link up with the main line at Honeybourne.
