This week Cee wants to see tender moments. Here are some that caught my eye on a couple of visits to Shropshire’s Severn Valley Railway.
They make me wonder too: young dads sharing their passion for steam trains; little lads not quite big enough to be sure. Which is also touching.

And quite another take on the topic…
A case of sore feet and
a tender behind… (I know, it’s an old joke)
*tender = coal wagon

The dads and little boys are so precious! Love these photos.
Cheers, Dawn. I thought so too.
Wonderful candid photos Tish!
Thank you, Anne.
Bravo. I enjoyed your photos for personal reasons; my father was a railroad engineer who handled coal, diesel and steam driven engines. Thanks for the trip down memory labe. Much appreciated Tish.
Happy to take you on a memory ride, GC.
Always a pleasure Tish.
Lovely gallery, Tish.
It’s been a long time, but I remember my wife and I taking a ride on that railway. My wife has love steam trains since she was a girl growing up in Malvern.
It’s certainly a great day out.
Memories that’ll hopefully last them both a lifetime!
Wonderful photos.
Thanks, Timothy.
Wonderful
Thank you, Flower.
I remember running down the street to wave at the steam trains crossing the bridge.
Ah, the unalloyed excitement! 🙂
Reblogged this on Hutts Ultra Blogging World.
Heartwarming photos.
Thanks, Jennie.
You’re welcome, Tish.
Tish, these are lovely. If you don’t mind, I’d like to link this post to my WQW challenge about transportation this week. Your photos are adorable. 🙂
Very happy for you to do a link-up, Marsha. Thank you for the lovely comment.
I enjoyed your post! 🙂 Thanks so much!
As a man, I can say the relationship between sons and their fathers very important.
