All Aboard the Steam Train From the Phoenix to Bressingham

The Phoenix Project had a wonderful outing at the Bressingham Steam Museum and Gardens.

Such wonder and splendour awaited us on our arrival, as the gardens provided a beautiful backdrop to the steam museum which was a sight to behold.

It was like being taken back in time, steam engines, the very history of train travel could be visited at different parts of the site. A most welcoming cafe staffed with the friendliest staff served food that was a sight to marvel. Scones so large and delicious they were so moreish and delectable.

Our keen train enthusiasts and dear friends Colin and Dave captured the day splendidly. Our great group who are from a wide range of ages thoroughly enjoyed the day so much we were even afforded the privilege of reliving the great Dads Army exhibit, which for us fans it took us all back to the marvellous comedy show we all held so dear to our hearts.

The steam train rides were wonderful and allowed us to sample the local wildlife and see Bressingham in its full majesty. We were taken back to our childhoods with the carousel where many enjoyed the rides so much so that many in the group performed funny movements and pulled funny faces for all of our amusement.

A great day and a huge thank you to Donna, Treacy, Clive, Rob and John for a fantastic day out.
