Choo Choo on The Ruislip Lido Railway - Sunday 04/11/07

Hey it's me the train driver!! Hop on board!

Hello!! It's Arthur again! Today I went for an adventure on a diesel powered train! Firstly though, mummy and daddy took me to a bear boutique in Covent Garden to buy me some more new clothes after my trousers the other day. Mummy let me choose a pair of jeans, a jacket to keep me warm and a t-shirt with a picture of a bear on it! After that, we went directly to the train ride on the Ruislip Lido Railway in North London, which is a lovely little miniature railway. I'd never been to North London before or on a diesel or steam train so it was very exciting. Once again I met some new friends, especially one little boy who was very nice who I'd been on a train ride with and when I was tucked away in my travel bag waiting for a bus back to Ruislip station he asked where I was - so I jumped out of the bag and he was very happy to see me! They were very kind at the railway and they even let me drive the train!! I could also drive a beach buggy which was on the sandy beach next to a big lake where many children and their mummies and daddies were playing on a nice sunny day. The lake also had some swans and one tried to chase me on the beach but I managed to get away in the buggy!! heeee Please take a look at my piccies below as I have to go to bed now as verrrrrrry tired (yawwwwwn) after a nice adventure. Night night. x
