Photographs Copyright © Sarah Anne Harvey |

What a difference a week makes!
Sunday 13th December - bright sun and blue skies |
Between each Santa by Steam service
the carriages are swept through and tables cleaned |
And of course Santa and his helpers will be in his
Grotto to meet the children and their Mums and Dads |
|
You get unparalleled views of the River Dart
and the beauty of Devon in winter |
And at Totnes Littlehempston Station there's time
to find a last minute bargain at the Victorian Market |
Before you leave us be sure to let your children
ride on the roundabout whilst you listen to the music |
SANTA BY STEAM - 2009 1st Weekend
|
Celebrity Chef Andy Greening demonstrates
Christmas sausage cooking |
and promotes his latest book
"Cooking On The Shovel"
to a young admirer |
Father Christmas greets all of his guests
before settling into his Grotto |
|
At times Buckfastleigh seemed more like a catwalk
than a platform. Here two models show the latest trends
in Christmas hats. Sarah looks on in bewilderment. |
The real stars of the Christmas tree
as always with their welcoming smiles |
Do you remember as a child your first glimpse
of Father Christmas? It's a truly magical moment! |
|
And Father Christmas gives you a present -
as a taster for what's to come on the 25th
IF YOU'RE GOOOOOOD! |
The Grotto really is a triumph of design over
available space. Here the children are waiting
to see the great man himself. |
In advance of the Climate Change Summit Santa has a frank discussion about global warming - which of
course could affect him to a larger degree. |
|
Two huge firsts in this baby's life - meeting Santa
and riding on the South Devon Railway |
Can you see the rain dear - it's
heading our way |
Wonder when the PC Brigade will say there must
be a 'Mother Christmas' too. Here's one candidate. |
|
Could this be the end of the line
for Father Christmas? And will the
locomotive give him the run around? |
However you look at it our Santa Specials
continue to provide sackfulls of magic
for children and, we suspect, their parents |
'Joey the Eyes' keeps a lookout as a gang
of desparate Totterrorists sneak up on Santa
with their gettaway vehicle, intent on a kidnap attempt! |
