By train

I rarely post a collage, as I like to stick to the ‘photo a day’ idea, but I felt on this occasion that these three photos together told the story of our day.

We set off from Appleby Station very early this morning and, after changing trains in Carlisle, we were on the Edinburgh train by sunrise. The way the sun gradually lit up the snow covered hills and trees was quite magical - a wonderful journey. 

Edinburgh was sunny and surprisingly quiet - it was still only 10am. A few shops were visited, an excellent lunch in our favourite restaurant and eventually we wandered slowly back to the station via the inevitable Christmas market. 

On the return journey we watched the sunset - much more spectacular than the quiet sunrise. A good day. I’m getting a bit addicted to travelling by train.
