I sort of like trains. It was fun going on them, but then when I got off, a very big train let off steam next to me. I just wasn\u2019t expecting all that noise and steam. It made me jump. I didn\u2019t want to go anywhere near it after that. It was hard work trying to listen to my master telling me all about the different engines, with James moaning every five minutes because he didn\u2019t want to be there. Apparently not everyone likes steam trains, which I find difficult to understand. My Mistress wants to go and help to drive one as her birthday present this year. I asked whether I could do that for mine, but then my Mistress pointed out it might let off steam again and asked if I really wanted to do it and I said maybe I\u2019d come up with a different idea for this year. There were a fair number of other dogs there, so I had a good bark at intervals. We had tickets which said \u2018dog or bicycle\u2019. The man crossed out bicycle but I don\u2019t think he really needed to. Who is going to get confused between those two? Towards the end of the day it poured with rain and my Master volunteered to go to get the car. My Mistress said \u2018No you wait inside in the restaurant I\u2019ll go. Alfie can\u2019t go in there anyway.\u2019 Everyone thought she was being nice, but she\u2019d just had enough of being with boisterous noisy boys and wanted some quiet time with her dog. That\u2019s me! She\u2019s promised to take me back to see the trains on a day when we can enjoy looking at them a bit longer and not have someone saying \u2018Can we go now?\u2019 I\u2019m hoping we\u2019ll take Bella too, so that I can tell her everything my Master told me about the engines.<\/p>\n
