Train to Darlington

This morning we walked to the train station (about ten minutes away in the village) and caught the train into Darlington - the nearest 'big town'. It was really windy but Beth didn't seem to mind too much. The train station near us is rather bleak and there are isn't a waiting room or anything, it's just the two platforms depending which way you're traveling (the photo below is of the station at Darlington). The journey is just five minutes then it takes perhaps just under ten minutes to walk into the centre of town.

As we had all woken up early, we decided to treat ourselves to a full English breakfast, Beth included. She did pretty well with the baked beans, tomato, toast, bacon and mushroom but wasn't so keen on the sausage and egg. Seems very different from the pancake breakfast we use to have - I suppose this matches the climate as we needed something 'hearty' to warm us up! After a good mooch round the shops we headed back to the train station to catch our train back home.
