Today was VERY exciting as we got to hang out with my Dad and step-Mum - they are in the UK for a week and took a #steamtrain to a town near us! #Alresford is super cute and the station was ADORABLE! So great to see family after 4 months away and another 3 to go. #thewatercressline #thewayfaringpath
On #MerchantNavyDay, we honour the brave seafarers who kept Britain going in WWII.
35005 Canadian Pacific carries their legacy, returning to steam in 2025 as a tribute to their courage.
