All aboard

Thank heaven it is Friday people day again as the weather has been so wet today. Not a day for taking photos.

Today's people photo was taken on board the Yarra Valley Railway historic train when we were in Melbourne during March.

We took three of the grandchildren on the train which operates between Healesville and Lilydale and had a lovely day. They each even had a go at hooting the whistle while the train was in motion too which they thoroughly enjoyed.
Nice shot Babs. We've never done that trip on the train, but maybe will get the chance on our next visit.

A nice shot Babs ( but very blurred with my sight ! the ointment I put in the eyes 4 times a day doesn't help with the clarity of my vision ,!! )

He looks a friendly chap, I like how he is peering through the door! Have a lovely weekend Babs.

A lovely capture Babs, has the wet and wild weather reached you yet. We had 60mm yesterday and a busy day ahead cleaning up the garden after the wild winds :)

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. The line and trains are maintained by volunteers and David and three of the grandchildren thought it was fabulous.

@mbmomentsintime @paulaw Thanks. I was taking photos of him and luckily he turned round to say "all aboard" before we started the journey. I was just lucky to be pointing the camera in his direction at the right time. @hermann Glad the wild weather has passed you by now Sally. It bucketed down here all day yesterday and all night too, but the rain has stopped at the moment. Hope it has gone by us too. Nowhere near as bad as the last one. Did you lose any branches from trees?
