Hi everyone I’m back, did you miss me?
That was an interesting few days in the lovely Midlands. Original reason for going was cancelled as the guy was ill so I looked after an also ill (cough cold) grandson while younger daughter, also with a cough cold, went into work to do essentials.
Next day grandson back at school, daughter working from home and I was free to visit a fantastic, inspiring textiles degree show. Oh I want to do that course - and I want lots of the exhibits here in my home!!!!
The highlight of the trip has to be the five hour party on a train just outside Corby. Met lots of lovely people and a great, kind, lovely set of train crew. Don’t know what the East Midlands Trains executives were up to but our party on the train went on for quite a long time. Longer, I think, than it need. Who in their right mind would divert a train along a line already hit by a flood and a landslide?
So I got back to younger daughter’s at midnight, and back home again 24 hours later than planned. Bloods surprisingly good. Thanks to libre, frio (it got a bit stuffy-hot when the carriage had two trains worth of passengers in it), and sufficient supplies to share some food and water. Nearly 50 years of T1 life came good.
