Good morning everyone. As you all know i haven't been very well nearly all winter. I have now had a course of steroids and diazapam . Well the course are nearly all finished.
Anyway the title of my post means i had a day out yesterday on Severn Valley railway. It is a steam railway that was saved 50yrs ago and it was a gala weekend to celebrate. I didn't take my scooter as it was nearly impossible to get on and off and around the stations,so i walked. I was able to sit an awful lot and to make the day better the weather was lovely as well. I really enjoyed myself very much. I took nearly 300 photos. My daughters flatmate was there taking photos as well,but he was track side and though we saw him it was while we was on the train and we waved as we passed him. I saw baby lambs, some pigs, and cows and elephants yes elephants there is a safari park along the route as well.
Overall i had a lovely day though very tiring. We got home about 6pm and to say i was exhausted was an under statement. Anyway bath and bed for me and i had trouble staying awake to see csi and after that i settled down and had the best night nights sleep i have had in a long while. This morning i feel quite bright as well. Also this morning we are going up to the farm to see lambs. The farm is having a charity day to see the lambs and hopefully i will be able to hold one if i am lucky.
So this Sunday morning i wish you all a lovely day.xxxx

What a lovely day out. Hope today is just as good and you continue to feel better.xx
Enjoy it while you lasts, we all know about good and bad days, just don't overdo it. Will you be able to take your scooter today or hire a wheelchair? Take care xxx
Good morning Georje, no i couldn't take my scooter. Hubby drove me up and i went round taking lots of photos of newborns. i really enjoyed myself. I am resting now though and i will put them up on f/book shortly.xxxx
I'm pleased you've been enjoying the milder weather Sylvi, maybe it served you well for once getting so tired. We've just done some shopping & my decided to try & drive but we got caught in the grockle traffic piling into town it being a sunny day so he's not best pleased! x
Did you spend any time in Bridgnorth during your day out ? Our daughter lives just a few miles from there and we often go to the market there, perfect for plant buyers !!
our other daughter is planning to get married on Severn Valley Railway at the end of the summer. Looking forward to that one, after youngest daughter just got married in Telford Shopping Centre. Xx
Yes it's really steep from station up to High Town. But just going downwards from station back towards the river in Low Town there's an amazing cliff railway which takes you straight up to town then it's on the flat. Mind you it might cause a heart attack, very scary ride !!! We usually park on Sainsburys right by market, then Ken pushes me round in my wheelchair. Next time you come to Shropshire you must come and visit, would be lovely to see you, lynda xx
Lynda that would be lovely to see you. I didn't take my scooter as it would have been too difficult so i couldn't walk far. xxxx
