Santa Express at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway

Today was Santa Express day, so we all set off for a fab lunch at the Dog and Gun near Oxenhope and then on to the Oxenhope Railway Station for a 14:40 departure.

Sadly (and typically) it was raining and we forgot to grab our umbrellas before leaving, so we managed to find a hardware store in Queensbury that had a couple of nice large golf type umbrellas available for just ยฃ5 each ๐Ÿ™‚

The train ride was once again a great experience and the boys once again were awarded some great presents from the jolly chap in the red cloak ๐Ÿ™‚

Daddy managed to get a few photos so they are sat in the Holiday Gallery, although will include them here for easy access ๐Ÿ™‚

The big day is just 3 days away now so the boys are supposedly on best behaviour ๐Ÿ™‚ They are both a little under the weather although Elliot has been for just about a week now, so he is hoping to shake it off in the next two days ๐Ÿ™‚

There has been a real calamity that Father Christmas was telling mummy and daddy about a certain gift that he is proposing to bring for Oliver this year – apparently the Elves have struggled to get it to work properly so have needed to send it to an electrician – apparently given the lateness in the day, they have decided to ditch it and find an alternative – this has been done but as yet they are unsure as to whether it will be ready in time – our fingers and toes are crossed that they are able to work a little late over the next couple of nights to ensure that our little ginger mouse is ecstatic on Christmas morning ๐Ÿ™‚ Good luck little Elves…

Last day of School before Christmas…

Today was the Silcoates last day of school so the boys are now all finished for Christmas. ย Their celebrations begin with a couple of nights at Grannie Cuckoo’s starting in the next hour or so ๐Ÿ™‚

Oliver actually missed his last day of school as he had a doctor appointment at Pinderfields as a follow up to his ongoing paediatric appointments regarding his temperature issues etc. ย The appointment was very late (40 minutes late) and to make matters a little worse was that we had got to the appointment nearly 20 minutes early ๐Ÿ™ ย Anyway, he is in a holding pattern for 6 months and hence we will continue to monitor his issues over the next 6 months.

 

 

Ice, Ice, baby

Wow – we woke up to MEGA ice on the roads etc this morning ๐Ÿ™

Poor Elliot ended up falling on his backside not more than 6 feet from the garage door ๐Ÿ™

The cul-de-sac and surrounding roads were ice skating rinks – as in too dangerous to walk on AT ALL. ย Bruce performed a faultless 30 feet powerslide at the bottom of the cul-de-sac as we head up Constable Drive ๐Ÿ™‚

By lunchtime, we have got rain and 5 Celcius and so the majority of the ice has now gone ๐Ÿ™‚
