We have 2 days off work due to Queen's Jubilee and yesterday I decided to take Mark to a place called Bekonscot Model Village. When we arrived to the village and which was more than an hour of drive I realized I left my wallet at home and I've got absolutely no cash with me. I already gave up with the thought of getting into the park when I decided to ask if there anything that could be done at the ticket counter. Turned out it wasn't completely hopeless, I could tell them payment card details and they could try to perform a transaction. So I called Andrejs and he gave me his card details, and it worked! We could get into the park! God bless internet and credit cards! And mobile phones!
Bekonscot is the oldest model village in the world. Mark's primarily interest were little trains going around the village. This was a real half km long outdoor model railway with the block signalling system. It was especially entertaining for Mark to watch how the little trains would stop by themselves and let the other train pass and then continue their journey.
And there was much more than just trains
