Well true to form folks, this short blog is just to prove hubby and I are jinxes when it comes to train travel. Having visited youngest daughter in Norwich last week, we travelled home courtesy of a cosy warm carriage, foolishly thinking the train would take the strain.

Lulled into a false sense of security, we mistakenly relaxed and broke out the reading material, only to come across a long line of patiently waiting trains, caused due to a points failure further on up the line. Oh, the joys.

After sitting for an hour – definitely not as long as the last journey and with the added bonus of working loos available, the tannoy speaker informed us that our journey was to be terminated upon reaching the next station. So began the search for alternative routes. Although, respect here for the guard, who was very apologetic and helpful regarding planning our onwards trip. So, who were we to complain, we certainly thought ourselves blessed this time round.

Just to let you lovely people know, we are engaging in another train journey soon, so hope you are not planning to travel on the same day as us. Good luck.
