Lego and Trains

Wroughton duckpond, complete with floating slices of bread (and no ducks).

Breakfast time with three kids. Great entertainment for Ilona.

Not only is Swindon near stone circles, but it also has a train museum. Which last Saturday hosted a lego exhibition. What better way to pass the time with three small children?

The biggest hit was this layout, where an accurate model of some station in the UK I have forgotten the name of was coupled to some very accurate intercity 125 and other locomotives. Caroline and Bluet would've watched for hours, but there were plenty of other lego things to see, and trains too.

Being a train museum, there were several lego railways, so we spent a while watching this one too.

And given Bluet's interest in flying and airports, we stopped here a while too

 

After the lego, we had a quick look at the real trains; most enjoyable for the kids are the ones you can climb on. Here, Bluet is taking a break from driving.
