Robbie Makes Demands

Robbie finally got home from his weekend playing trains. To be more accurate he got as far as Rugby and got stranded, so I had to go and rescue him. He chatted almost non stop about his weekend and as usual the food seemed to interest him almost as much as the trains. We had a busy afternoon and evening but in a quiet moment Robbie demanded an early night - so that we could watch railway DVD's in bed!! A company called MD Rail Productions has produced a DVD of The Spitfire Railtours Cumbrian Coast Explorer and Wey-farer tour, and Robbie was very keen to watch the DVD. Here is a link to the Spitfire Railtours DVD. He also had his latest British Transport Films DVD to watch so it looked as if we were in for a long evening.

Our early night didn't materialise, but when Robbie came to bed at about 12.25am he woke me up and demanded that I stay awake to watch the DVD's. I managed to watch a film called Travelling Intercity, when the next one about the design of the HST came on I couldn't keep my eyes open and I had to settle down to sleep. I don't know how much he watched, but when I woke at half past three he was sleeping soundly, still clutching the DVD case. I think there may be another night of railway videos in store!!
