After a busy morning we made our way to meet Uncle Murphy and Aunty Jo and stopped off for a picnic before going on to the Lavender Line in Isfield. Having a son who is a steam train fanatic we thought it would be nice to take him there. It is near Bluebell Railway where he has a life membership and goes there every week with his Grandad. Unfortunately the Lavender Line did not live up to the Bluebell experience, it was rather run down, very disappointing and extremely overpriced, if I hadnt had a half price ticket to get in it would have cost £50 which is a joke considering their offering. The adults did laugh at how bad it was, Daisy wasnt too impressed but of course Sammy boy loved it as he got to play in the signal box and ride with the driver on the diesal train.
Afterwards we went to Abborts Wood where Sam had an ice cream nearly as big as him, we walked through the bluebells back to the wooden park where we all had a go on the assort course. Unfortunately I was very poor on the train crossing where as Uncle Murphy had it nailed but I proved I still had it in me walking along the beam high up... well it was for a 5ft3 person.
It was then back to Jo and Murphy's for a cuppa and finishing off the picnic, Cala and Andy came home just before we left so a nice ending to a fun day.
