Just like Summer

What a super day it has been, it had been just like summer should be with the sun shining down and the temperatures reaching into the mid twenties, and it stayed that way until the showers of the evening. All in all  it has been glorious and what a better way to spend part of it at than at the Rock By Rail Museum near Ashwell in Rutland.

It is a lovely little museum and there is lots to see. The people there work very hard to restore the engines and the rolling stock and you can walk around the workshops and see the work going on. At the moment they are redeveloping the museum but that doesn't make it less interesting and they are hopping to complete the work by September when they will have the some of the trains in steam again.

The museum opening times at the moment are Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday from 11.00am to 4pm and admission is free, although they do ask for voluntary donations of £4 per adult to assist in their work. You can spend a good coupe of hours at the museum, even though it is being redeveloped, and there is a cafe on site so you can have a drink and a bite to eat.
