Jamie's birthday

Jamie is 3 today and we had his birthday party last Saturday in the form of an outing with his friends and family on his very favourite 'ride' of all time - The Keighley Worth Valley railway, preceeded by a Pizza Hut dinner. What more can a boy want?
The KVR is excellent it has to be said: proper full sized steam engines and some wonderful authentic stations, running through "Bronte Country" from Keighley to Oxenhope via Haworth. It's always really busy at the weekends and the whole thing with a couple of stops makes a great day out for kids and adults alike.
(This is the line which is probably most famous for being used in the film The Railway Children. THAT station and THAT bridge are still there along the way.)
Today the lad's been at nursery where there's cake and a party laid on. Kids' birthdays are just ace. I wish my birthdays were that good. :-/
