Amberly Working Museum

Last Thursday (20 May) we took a trip to the Amberly Working Museum. We almost went with Buffy's parents when they were over here but we never got around to it. This is a place we will visit again the next time anyone visits us from the States. It was so interesting. The first place we went into was an old time printing press.
We have a friend from church who volunteers there and guess who we saw when we went in? That's right John Wallis. And here I thought he only worked there on alternate Tuesdays! We had a nice chat with him and then went on our way.
We went into the audio/visual building next and saw old radios and TVs. It looked like how I picture Radioshack would have looked like back in the day (had it existed of course).
We then saw woodworkers next and in one of the sheds where they were making brooms, we saw this sign:
We almost bought a broom, but didn't want to carry it around all day so we didn't. . . We can take orders for next time though!!! We went into where they had some old tools and saw this sewing machine. It made me think of the one that we had in our house when we were growing up...We thought Mom might enjoy seeing it.

After that we went on a train to the other end of the Museum.

Kathryn wasn't too sure about it to start off with, but Daddy was holding her tight and so she was fine to look around.

Our last photo is of Kathryn talking on the phone. It was just too cute!!!

We all had a great time and would be happy to visit it again.
