Spent yesterday afternoon on this beautiful train in the Chatsworth carriage. All the carriages are named after stately homes and decorated in different styles. Brass luggage racks, lovely upholstery, beautiful carpets, curtains and lamps, hand painted ceilings. Even the “bathroom” was mahogany with fresh orchid, lovely handwash and rolled hand towels.
White linen cloths, sparkling crystal, white china, delicious afternoon tea (duck scotch egg, quiche, dainty sandwiches, selection of cakes, warm scone with cream and jam, strawberries and cream) champagne, port or sherry, tea and coffee and sparkling water until it comes out of your ears!!
We were on a 5 hour round trip and our every need was met by the liveried staff who were super smart and really friendly and professional.
A lovely day out as a special treat for our joint birthdays.
Volunteering shouldn't be this hard, surely?
