Part 2 of best day ever :)

I promised a few days ago a post with all the lovely vintage-y ads and signs from the afternoon spent on the steam train.

Windows. 


Don't forget to label your luggage. 


Be sure to go by train.


It will ease the strain.


Don't forget to visit London in coronation year!


And have your cup of Lyon's tea.

Best day ever :)

This weekend, I went on a steam train ride from Loughborough to Leicester. It was possibly the greatest thing ever. Had lunch, wine, coffee, chocolate. Did I mention it was awesome? Made that point clear enough? Because it was. And pictures! (There will be another post tomorrow with just the signs and vintage ads).


The platform, train, people.
 
The table.


First class. 


The windows were a mess. 


But the lake was beautiful. (This was the view while we were having lunch.)


Water tower.


Various tools. 


Made me think of Hemingway.
 

The ceiling of the station. 


My favourite picture of the day, taken in the waiting room.

And just because I saw this on my way home from uni today and I like the picture:
