Dinosaur's first train ride

TSH, anxious that his grandson learns good habits early, persuaded everyone to take a trip on the Welsh Highland steam railway. Very scenic for the grown-ups and fascinating for someone who couldn't quite believe the way the world was flashing by the windows. His mother sang 'Going on a Train' and he had his photo taken with the engine.

Lunch involved another Coronation chicken baked potato for TSH and a strange crab salad for Diva. Other members of the party compared fish and chips with the previous day. The afternoon was spent at Caernarvon Castle. It was so warm that Diva had a rare ice-cream. TSH took Dinosaur for a walk over the bridge and managed to return before the bridge opened to let a boat through.

In the evening, the service at dinner was so slow that Diva complained about missing the England v Uruguay kick-off, so the pub made the wine complementary. The England v Uruguay match was a great disappointment and hopes are dashed til Euro 2016.
