Your epic 40 and 25 hour train journeys makes our Christmas trip to Devon seem like a short excursion, it being a mere 4 hours away…

Things are pretty quiet back here in blighty. That is, apart from the hoards of crazed shoppers rushing around desperately trying to purchase ludicrous amounts of presents. Mercifully, due to our “secret santa” regime, I’ve been spared the worst and actually completed most of my shopping relatively early.

Work Xmas meals were good. Food at the Half Moon nr Knaphill was excellent and the Lloyds evening had live music from Sera Golding & The Men In Black, who were most skilled.
