You'll be able to use those tcikets at their special Hallowe'en bash then Spanner - children are asked to dress up, and go hunting for ghosties and ghoulies! Sounds fun!

Re: Bank Holiday
What is it with steam rallies or whatever they're called? And why are they nearly always on BH weekends? (Though obviously the one Spanner mentions isn't.) When I was away the weekend before last, I saw no fewer than 3 of the things advertised, all for BH weekend, but who goes to them and why? And what happens to the steam whatsits and enthusiasts for the rest of the year?Spanner wrote: boyf wants to go back this weekend for the steam engine extravaganza...... #sigh# it never rains but it pours, comes to mind!!!!

Re: Bank Holiday
yay! no steam for me as boyf is doing overtime - hurrah! though he's still harping on about going back... a LOT
how come it feels like this week has gone on forever, especially as if it's been a 4 day week for lots of us?
hmmmm that's made me think..... why does time sometime fly and sometime drag, what makes us perceive it differently ????
