That’s right, Scotland. Again. It’s so depressing coming back home and being stuck in a terraced house surrounded by more terraced boxes, with a view across the other grey boxes of Coventry. Especially since I was up there five days this time – it was starting to feel like home. (That’s Braincroft lodge right in the middle of the picture.)
On the way home there was an announcement on the train – every toilet on the train was out of order, so we would be making a toilet stop at Crewe – which made everyone laugh.
At Birmingham New Street I left my bags by my seat and went to get a chocolate bar from the vending machine. An announcement came over the tannoy telling us not to leave our bags unattended. I thought “I bet they saw me on the security cameras”, and then immediately there was another announcement – “Closed circuit cameras are in use at this station for your own safety”. I gave them a wave.
Next week: York. Woohoo!
hmmm…. interesting.
