Had a great day out (thanks to our sons) on the Northern Belle from Carlisle to Knutsford where we transferred to coach for the connection to the RHS Flower show at Tatton Park.
The food and service on the train was something we had not experienced before - absolutely fabulous! Even the tickets came in a genuine leather wallet!
Our seats were in the Pullman coach Chatsworth
and everything was so plush and comfortable it wasn't real.
We really fell in love with the exquisite marquetry panelling.....
The onboard team that looked after us included three specifically for our coach with 'Joe' in charge (a self confessed exile from Scotland brought up in Liverpool) and two girls. One was Claire from Paris (on the right - just completing an 11 week work experience with VSOE).
The team also included the sous-chef and other kitchen staff who prepared the wonderful food that kept arriving at our table throughout the journey..
Of course the RHS Flower show was excellent too, although we would have needed far more than the 3hours we had, to have seen everything (3 days would have been more appropriate)!
Not only masses of flowers for Bridie but water features to keep me happy too....
It did rain for a while but we managed to escape into the large tents for the flower displays and it couldn't spoil our day.
