On Wednesday we were up very early because we had a train to catch! We had plenty of time to get ready but as so often happens Robbie pushed the boundaries and when we left the bungalow we needed a clear run to get to the station in time. About 5 minutes into the journey a huge farm vehicle
pulled out in front of us, it was moving very slowly and taking up most of the road so there was no way I could get past it, but thankfully after a nerve racking few minutes it pulled over to let us past. After that we had a clear run and we got to North Walsham in time to catch the train to Sheringham.
I had my doubts about going to the North Norfolk Railway with Robbie because I thought I may get bored, but I needn't have worried, we had a fantastic day. I enjoyed every bit of it, but my best bits were travelling in a mk1 corridor coach, the bookshop at Weybourne station and the toilets at Weybourne Station. I have always wanted to travel on one of those corridor coaches with separate compartments, I felt as if I was travelling back in time. I could have spent a whole week in the book shop, it was wonderful, we went back there three times! Needless to say we couldn't resist buying a few books - well more than a few actually! The toilets were really special, so old fashioned and very grand, much nicer than modern day ones.
It was such a nice day and we had so much fun together that I really want to do something like that again very soon and I have to go back to that bookshop!
