Santa Train

Our friends along the road had some spare tickets for the Santa Steam Train at Bo'ness. So along we went, wishing we had Santa's reindeer and sleigh to get us through the snow but we made it in Daddy's old car (Mummy's car doesn't do too well in the snow).

Mummy and Daddy hadn't told me where we were going and I was very happy and excited to be going on a steam train but I still didn't know at that time that Santa was visiting the train and that he'd be giving out presents!

So it was along the line for a bit on the steam train; stop for a bit and go for a walk along the platform and on to the bridge (in the snow) over the train to peer at the firemen filling the fire, then after a wee while we had to get back on the train for some songs on the way back.

Once back we spent some more time on the platform and I got to go on the engine platform to meet the driver! He told me that the train is actually an Aviemore train that was down specifically for the Santa run!

That was a great day and a great surprise!
