Big Train set

 The weekend wasn't as bad as the forecast would have us believe, matter of fact it was as good as its been for a while, no rain and the roads dry. Sunday afternoon we decided to take the R100 out , just one bike and hence saving some petrol, of course we have to save money somehow, there doesn't seem to be anyone offering us Free clothes, Free specs, Free luxury stays in a top London apartment free 1.2 million pound loans or even free heating payed for by the taxpayer, of course even the Scottish Greens got into the act with free champers and food thanks to the energy companies, aye the Greens who want to stop all road building and no doubt send us back to the dark ages ( except we all have to be sexual deviants at the same time) , oh dear I seem to have gone off in a rant again.

I had passed a sign on the Gask road for a while which read something about trains and tea and cakes so yesterday being a day when we had nowhere particular to go we decided to stop, firstly for tea and cakes but then as we sat and watched the trains through the Gazebo windows we thought we had better pay our entrance  (£7 each, kids 4 and under go free and even I couldn't persuade them that Fi was only 4) I have to say it was worth it, after a week trying to avoid the bad news (It's impossible, it's everywhere) it was an hour well spent looking at nothing in particular and how relaxing it was. Afterwards we made up a circular route, just us on the bike enjoying the dry and quiet roads, not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon, no I'm not buying a train set but its worth it for the peace and quiet and the cake wasn't bad either.
Oh and we both enjoyed the R100 as well!

Bike at rest
