    That market is so cute!! Also, as a happily solo woman in my 30s I also find myself interested in events only to show up and discover that I am surrounded by families with children. It does make me feel a bit out of place sometimes!

Your trip on the train reminded me of a trip at Christmas on the Nene Valley Railway that runs alongside the River Nene near Peterborough. Although it was a morning trip we had afternoon tea on board and a visit from Father Christmas. There was even a sherry or a whisky to keep the cold out. Well worth it any time of year, if you’re ever on the Nene. X

Fantastic market, really beautiful craft items for sale. I am a crafter and like to get new ideas. What gorgeous little furry visitors and they seemed very much at home on the boat. Big furry Love Bubbles. Cuddles to the Bairns. E x

    Big up the floating market🎉. Saw GG moored up at Campbell Park, welcome to MK. Wolverton has a fantastic museum, and it is definitely well worth a visit. The front of our narrowboat is in there as it was cut off and donated for a display. New half put on. We are a "Cut and shut boat😂. "Or really old 1908 and new bit". Keep doing what you guys do, such fun to watch. Looking forward to your TV appearance.

    Wheels - possibly (though the train oracle here isn't sure), because the single flange design is usually 'enough' on fixed tracks. On uneven, temporary tracks it isn't. I think its also more likely that double flanged wheels would catch on points where the track splits, making a derailment at the points more likely. But thats me guessing. Generally, successful engineering is 'sufficient' rather than 'excessive' - double flanging all wheels would cost more in terms of metal and work!
