Old style dining

This morning was a bit wet but as we were both shattered from yesterday's cycle and Fiona's leg isn't much better we've had an easy day.
We did have our grand dinner out on the "Strathspey Highlander". All week each time the train goes past the cottage we have been looking forward to tonight and it was no disappointment.
We had a return journey from Aviemore, through Boat of Garten and then to Broomhill, or Glenbogle to those familiar with Monarch of the Glen, on the steam powered "Strathspey Highlander". For those who know who Tomas the Tank Engine is, Donald and Douglas are both the same type of engine as the Highlander, and the Highlander is the sole surviving engine of this class.

The high point of the trip was dinner - a 4 course dinner is served.
With the food, the scenery and the company, it was a fantastic way to end our holiday.
