We've said a sad goodbye to both children but have had a really fun time together. 
Second born's train travel down was marked with a cancellation. The return was even more problematical; queing traffic to the station, then trying to ram onto a carriage where even the sardines were complaining. The train then gave up with still around 250kms to go, disgorging its passengers to make their own way home. Hopefully they'll arrive about four hours late, but still travelling at the moment, so can't be sure. It wouldn't be quite so bad if the ticket prices were reasonable.
Anyhow, this is the small fishing lake at the station where the ducks had the best idea. 
Extra: Egret from our afternoon amble.
