Trains and Marbles

As Oscar had be given a train set for Christmas we thought he would be interested in seeing a model train set layout.  We therefore went to Trago Mills, near Newton Abbott.

Before looking at the model trains we walked around the Animal Park and saw the pigs, horses, goats, rabbits and birds.  Not bad as free!

Although the snow and ice had all melted from Plymouth at the beginning of the week there was still piles of snow at the sides of roads and some of the ponds were still frozen over.

Oscar was fascinated by the trains following  them as they went around the track.  He enjoyed pressing buttons to activate lights and sounds in the scenery.  It is an excellent exhibition and well worth the £1 entrance fee.

After lunch eaten in the car we drove across to House of Marbles in Bovey Tracey.  Oscar was fascinated by watching the marbles run, but the things he talked about more afterwards was the Father Christmas on the roof waving and the snoring bear in the shop!
