47 484 at Reading!

Having a great time at Reading Festival. I've managed to camp up by the railway and watched a procession of trains all day whilst listening to great tunes. No Lady Gaga unfortunately, but Enter Shikari were great. Bunty Beee crowd surfed right to the front and lost her brand new teeth. The trips love the mosh pit! Heidi-Pingu made it right to the front, crawling under the bouncers' legs, and managed to do a milky projectile vomit all over Rou!

Got 30 new numbers today including 47 484 hauling a special on the up relief line.

Aigle-Leysin in Switzerland

We took a trip on the lovely cog railway from Aigle to Leysin in Switzerland last Saturday.

The line starts outside the station in Aigle, runs through the streets, then switches to the rack just outside of town for the trip to Leysin.

The final station, which is hardly used, is Leysin Grand Hotel. It's all boarded up and just single track. Scooby Lou got stung by a hornet just as we reached the station so was screaming. I was trying to squeeze out the sting whilst holding the other two. Heidi-Pingu was sick down my neck and Bunty-Beee was screaming too. Oh yes, they're the triplets. I had them by UVF. Dappy of N-Dubz is their dad, so they're a bit stunted.

Just down the hill by another station there's a Japanese supermarket so I managed to shoplift some anti histamine and smothered all three in it. We spent the night sleeping in a field full of cows because I couldn't find our hotel. It was all in French.
