While Having lunch Eilidh and Murray's twins turned up. They eneded up being very tasty.
We had a wander round the town seeing the horses and the bank and all the old fashioned shops. We also popped into the sweetie shop where they meeasured out our rubarb and custard, kola cubes and ABC's in quarters. Been a long time since we could do that.
The kids outside the Post Office come Newsagents.
After a look round the Dentist's house, the Piano Teachers house and another house, we went to the funfair where on the coconut shy, Daddy won a football!!!
Murray tried to go on the train but erm it broke down. So he got his token back and used it on the coconut shy.
Mummy and Eilidh went on the swing boats. You got FOREVER on it. Thought it was never going to end but Eilidh loved it.
Then we walked round to the Colliery village. On the way the kids found a funny steam contraption and climbed in.
We popped into the old school in the Colliery Village. The kids got to play with Old Fashioned toys in the playground.
Then they went indoors for a lesson with slates and the belt. Murray was in the main classroom.
But Eilidh was segregated. Probably for talking too much.
Then back outside to play in the playground with daddy again.
After that we caught the tram to Pockerly Manor and the bus was chasing us along the road.
Then on the way back we got the open top tram back and we sat upstairs as it was nice and sunny again.
We passed the fairground again. Shows what a long walk we went on from there to the colliery village.

Eilidh and daddy on the tram in the town too.
Afterwards we made our way to the hotel in Washington and had dinner at the Carvery. But we were all tired so headed back to the room and had a lazy evening.

Seems you had a good day at Beamish. It'd a few years since we were there but I always enjoyed it. Looks like there are some additions too.
