Santa train

Yesterday we had a special day out with Noah to the Haverthwaite steam railway in the lakes to meet santa.
We took our seats on the very old steam train and there was a pantomime type show where santa's elves where playing up and the head elf told us there would be no presents, until we had done all of the "he's behind you" and "oh no he wont" stuff. We then all sang carols (quite bizare really if you think about it sitting on a victorian steam train in a carrige called ballbul singing with a group of complete strangers) we would have looked and felt quite strange had we not had a three year old with us as an excuse. Anyway Santa soon came along to ask Noah had he been good and what he would like for Christmas, Noah at this point is stunned and silent (at least not in floods of tears like last years Santa visit) And received a fantastic aeroplane with little people in it, he was made up. We then were given a glass of sherry to finish off proceedings.
The train took us back. Here a few pics from along the way.
