well after several thousand kilometres and a few weeks of hectic goings on, its time to have another blog or three.

The usual rants about late running and cancelled trains as well as the power of guitar and drum will no doubt help to fill a ramble or two.

This morning I wanted to make a little time up at the office as I am leaving at 4 tomorrow, heading off to Germany via the Paris-Munchen night train and of course eurostar.

Got to Oakham station to be met by Patrick loading his car up, he cheerily told me the 0637 was delayed at Leicester and I was welcome to a lift which I quickly accepted.

I popped my head round the booking office window and was told the 0545 had been cancelled and the 0637 was now 22 late, lucky things lifts, after a speedy journey to peterborough I was on the 0720 and reading my paper. It was a tad warm, in fact it resembled a sauna.
