My kind of garden centre...

In Britain a sunny bank-holiday is not to be wasted. We had a family day out in the South Downs, which we live close to. Exploring a ruined castle, a picnic lunch in the woods, and a visit to a garden centre. OK, a garden centre with a steam railway...


The South Downs Light Railway is a 10 1/4 inch gauge line within a garden centre just outside Pulborough, it has a surprisingly long run with a challenging climb, and some nice locos and coaches. Our train was hauled by the Exmoor Locomotive "Pulborough", though passing the sheds (with a nifty traverser) revealed several other locos, including "scale" miniatures.


I don't know what the arrangement is with the garden centre but being in a relatively out-of-the-way location it can't do them any harm. Apparently we needed some plants while we were there...
