Rhys had a great day, he got construction work type toys for his birthday this year, Dump trucks, bulldozers, road cones and workmen. The kids have been playing road works for most of the day. It's funny to listen in and hear Rhys saying "good job team!" and Emily announcing "it's time to pack up tools for lunch". After the morning's hard work we headed to Maldon for the eagerly anticipated steam train ride. After lengthy delays due to the train having water in its oil, they were able to set off and we enjoyed the ride. On the way home they had no lights, due to forgetting the generator so we all got put in first class which was nice although dark. The kids and I chose the "Ladies compartment" which we had all to ourselves. It was easy to sit there in the dark and imagine it was 100 years ago. Once we got home we had the birthday cake (they decorated it themselves with Rhys directing where to put things) and off to bed for kids after a long tiring day.
