Morning all
Oh yikes Al, take care in that heat! xx
Don’t forget the sun-screen Jan

Hope you enjoy your gardening Cruiser

Osc, it’s miserable weather here too

Jen, I always get that feeling of having forgotten something, but invariably I pack too much

Jo, blooming trains! xx
We got home around teatime. The first leg of the journey from Manc to Brum was great, nice half-empty train. We already knew we’d got a 40 minute wait for our connection to Gloucester, the Cardiff train. However it was delayed, then delayed again, but then we realised another CrossCountry train to Plymouth actually called at Cheltenham, and as we had open returns we could take that one
So we changed platforms for that one, but that was also delayed due to trespassers on the line! Eventually that turned up and of course due to said delays was absolutely RAMMED full! A nice man gave me his seat, and put my weekend case up on the rack for me, but poor B had to stand. This meant we were still on the train when that 3pm nation alert went off - OMG the racket, I think it would have been less stressful to actually BE nuked!
Luckily I got hold of Mick and he met us at Cheltenham. Despite the nightmare journey home it was a BRILLIANT weekend, bound to be repeated
I’m in town, it’s belting down but we needed a few bits. I usually meet Em on a Monday, but her mum isn’t well so she’s taking her to the docs. I might see her later. I’ll walk up to D’s in a while, to meet Mick there later, the Snip Doggy lady is coming to ours to groom Fraggle so he’ll be up at D’s after that.
Have a good day everyone xxx
