Today we went on the Daffodil Express, a steam train to Carterton. On arrival at Carterton, we caught shuttle busses to the daffodil fields where we could pick up to 2 dozen daffodils each for the princely sum of $4! We came home with lots. The boys loved picking the flowers and kept asking me to take their photos ........ this from boys who usually don't want their photos taken! We then wandered through the town as there was also a big fair on and had lunch at the Turkish restaurant - very yummy! AFter lunch we walked round a bit more and then headed back to the train to take photos of the engine. The boys also had a go on a very old jigger.
