Barmouth Day Out!! On Friday 16th August Larry, Carl, Emma, Aaron and Callum caught the train from New Street Station for the three hour ride to Barmouth. Carls first visit for about 15 years!! After spending some time in Barmouth we made the short train ride to Talybont, before returning home late in the evening. The sun shone, and we all had a great time, especially Carl re-visiting old haunts.

Coventry On Wednesday 21st August Larry, Lynne, Emma, Aaron, Isobel, Morgan and Callum flew out of Birmingham airport to enjoy two weeks holiday in Estepona, culminating in Darren and Michelle’s wedding in Gibralter on 2nd September.

F u n Transport i n t h eMuseum P o o l ....... !! Coventry Well we were all worried that Callum wouldn’t like the swimming pool, but with a little gentle persuasion from ‘Banbad’ he headed into the pool, and from then on he spent plenty of time in and around the pool. ‘All aboard the story train!!’.
And then off to the Beach So Callum had braved the pool - next challenge was the sea. We knew he was happy in the sand, he had enjoyed making sand castles in Barmouth. The sea was a new experience - but after a little gentle persuasion he was happy to splash in the waves. On Sunday evening we returned to the beach for a barbecue and a party for Darren and Michelle.

Fun at Estepona Harbour.... Coventry Transport Museum ....... Estepona Harbour was a favourite place to visit, especially of an evening. Feeding the fish, and trying (unsuccessfully) to catch crabs. A great place to watch the sun go down. Of course Lynne had to have a boat trip - taking Callum along for the first time.

GirlsTransport NightMuseum Out!!....... Coventry As the date of the Big Wedding got closer the girls decided it was time for Michelle’s Hen Night. They seemed to have a great time, dressing Michelle up in her ‘L’ plates. She even had a brush with the Local Policia, though it was more friendly than the Police visit after Darren’s night out!!
All Aboard the Story Train!! Callum had everyone following him around with the command “All aboard the Story Train�. Round the pool, in the pool and at the appartment we all joined in!!
