MIGHT GO TRAIN TRIPPIN TODAY

MIGHT GO TRAIN TRIPPIN TODAY

As I am feeling much better today I thought I'd take the kids on the train.. maybe to Pukekohe?  Or Panmure....

Actually Pukekohe would be good... it's a good distance away but not too far.  And the kids have never been there.  Could make a 'day trip' out of it. 

Other than that... no news or idle gossip to share right now!

ONWARD....

So. we did indeed hop on the trains... for the entire day!  We caught the train at Manurewa and took off for Pukekohe....

ABOVE:  On the train to Puke... they had just had fits of giggles over the connecting door not being closed between our carriage and the next... daft kids!

ABOVE:  it was a really nice trip out there... saw lots of baby lambs and calves...

ABOVE:  And also a lot of market gardens and the like.... I even saw the most enormous glass house EVER!   Didn't think to photograph it!

ABOVE  While in Pukekohe I bought the bright green fabric.... and we had lunch at KFC.... hell that's expensive!

After lunch we ran walked briskly in the rain back to the train station, which is quite a walk from the town centre... I was totally KNACKERED!

Caught another train to Panmure, where we got off and went to Spotlight, where I got the lovely multi-coloured batik and the quilting gloves. 

Fed the kids an ice cream ... jumped on another train and came home!  What an excellent way to amuse kids for the day. 

Although it's only 3.30 I am sooo tired!  I am going to put me feet up for a mo and have a rest!  This cold had knocked me for six.  The coughing persists, but the vomiting has stopped thank goodness.

End of Day:  and I have the most lovely hubby ever.  He came home from work and found me asleep... so he cooked dinner.  Awwww how spoilt am I?  The pesky cough is STILL coming and going... but I am feeling better in myself, so that's good.   Last time I had a cough it lasted for weeks.  Yaaaaa. nite nite.
