We had a bit of a disturbed night sleep on Monday night due to very heavy rain and a very noisy helicopter buzzing around at about 1.30am, he seemed to drone on forever.
So what to do on a really crappy, rainy day......go for a ride on a steam train of course! So - anoraks on and Ian-Allen trainspotters book in hand, away we went.
They had one steam train running today, we caught the 1.00pm return to Carrog. It was packed with pensioners on an outing so we had a nice chat with some Cornish retirees in our compartment.

When we arrived at Carrog rather than catching the train straight back we would go for a walk (in the rain) and catch the 16.00 train back to llangollen.
It was bloody miserable - and there was nothing to see (apart from the amazing view of the river, but we couldn't look at that for 2 hours!) ... so nothing for it but go to the only pub in the village, The Grouse.
Poor Sam was soaked and shivering - he has very thin fur and suffers when he gets wet, so Elaine wrapped him up in her coat and he soon dried out.
