Today we went down the road to Bitton Railway which is a preservation society and very interesting if you are keen on steam engines, as Dad is.
I persuaded him that a trip in the train was a good plan for the day, so off we went, up to Oldland Common station and then back down to Avon Riverside station.
We could have interrupted our journey with a 40 minute boat trip on the Avon but instead, Dad talked himself into a second train journey, this time on the footplate!
