Whilst I am packing for temperatures of 32 in Sri Lanka, the outside temperature is zero degrees. My best laid plans of doing what I normally do and drive to Winchester to catch up with a friend and then take the coach to Heathrow has been scuppered, so I need to let the train take the strain. I just didn’t want to be stuck on icy roads on the 4 hour drive up country. Well I’m almost out of Cornwall, enjoying the warmth of the train and there’s no snow in sight. Still better be safe than sorry! I’ve checked in online and my holiday has begun.
For so many years, living so near Heathrow, I just got a taxi. Now I’m almost 400 miles away, so it’s a bit more of a journey!
