Had a night out at Beamish Museum last night. A night to have an insight as to how the Victorians, Edwardians and Georgians would have spend their Christmases. Rather a chilly night thought, even with the many fires which were on the go. Didn’t want to leave Santa’s grotto….it was too cosy and warm.

Galloping steamers brings a whole new meaning to those carousels. I’ve never seen one travel so fast.
