George, Sarah, Jill and I woke up way to early on an extremely blustery Sunday to ride a train to look at some flowers. Every year the New Zealand Cancer Society has a steam train that travels from Wellington to the Carterton Daffodil Carnival. For a few more dollars you can pick a bunch of daffodils from the Middlerun Fields with all the proceeds going to the charity. Steam trains are one of the most amazing things ever. Kinda like a huge version of your teapot, but big enough to pull hundreds of thousands of pounds. That’s a big teapot. My teapot can’t do that, although it does have a little whistle.
