Monday = Isabella Day (36)

After a couple of weeks of 'holiday', it was good to have Isabella for the day. We found her at home in Didsbury, playing with her ever expanding railway network. (Well, Sue was playing, Isabella was watching.)

After the journey to Timperley, and a snack, it was soon time to head for the tram to Altrincham.

'Little World for Scholars' was the venue. We'd been before, and - as before - we spent a happy hour, enjoying a selection of activities.

'Bear' kept the resident lamb and chicken company for a while.

The tram ride back to Timperley overshot its destination, so that the boss could admire 'The Giant Ice Cream of Brooklands'.

Then, after lunch and a nap, the Timperley train set came out. Not as extensive as its Didsbury counterpart, but good fun nonetheless, with many inventions of railway disaster and success scenarios.

Happy New Year, Isabella.
