A wet start to the day. Went to pick up the new alternator belt then to the station where we caught a train to Didcot. Spent three hours at the railway centre there. They had three engines in steam. Earl Bathurst on the 'main line', Trojan on the branch line, and Firefly on the broad guage line. We had a ride on the branch line and changed on to the broad guage, travelling in an open third class truck behind Firefly.
Caught the train back to Oxford to meet Dave off his train. Went for lunch in Jericho via the boat, then on to the Lamb and Flag.
In the evening we went to the Loch Fyne restaurant to eat. This was my first time in one and we were impressed. Then we went to 'Far from the Madding Crowd' and the Turf Tavern.
