Day 19 - 6th December 2006

For once Mark and Chris were the first up and after finding out that it was not a total fire ban day, we all headed off to puffing billy.

Mark, Chris and the boys rode the train, while Mum and Dad followed by road, taking photographs at every opportunity and providing much entertainment to those on board the train.

Campbell really enjoyed the ride, spending most of the time with arms and legs outside of the carriage, while Harrison spent most of the time concerned with his brother's well-being.

The half-way point was Lakeside, where we stopped for 45 minutes and had a brief play in the park. We then boarded the train for the return journey, with Mum and Dad again going by car.

Once we arrived back, we headed to a pie shop for lunch that served many varieties.

Then we headed to ex-neighbours, Barry and Glennis. Barry wasn't home, but there was still a lot of conversation.

Finally we headed to La Porchetta for a sit-in dinner as opposed to last nights take away. The service was astoundingly quick.

We then went back to the unit, the kids eventually got to bed and Chris, Mark, Mum and Dad settled down for a game of Bartog.
