SACRIFICE

Before we left the railway, Antony and Tiny Toy saw a little coin-operated ride they wanted to have a go on. They've done so little on this holiday that I was more than happy to let them, as long as Wilson went on too, to keep an eye on them.

Wilson rather grandly announced that he was 'a bit too grown-up' for these 'baby rides' but he would 'sacrifice his dignity' in order to keep the children safe.

I fought down a smile as I remembered W not being AT ALL too grown up to go on very similar rides on the pier a few days ago… but I suppose he IS a few days older now!

Anyway, he popped TT on the chimney and Antony behind the steam dome and told them to hold on very tightly, before climbing onto the footplate himself and, with a big grin on his face, inserting the coin.
