All packed and ready to go on the last leg of this trip. London bound. Shepherd’s Bush Empire tonight with our John for the Hermanos Gutierrez gig. Anyone else going? I will look the part with my shades and love and peace leather jacket from last year’s trefbash. Must be said I will be glad to get back to wearing my normal specs when I get home tomorrow night.
Out to Khans in Beerkined last night for a meal with cousin Jeff and Glenys. Always nice to catch up with them. I’m feeling the after effects this morning 😉 You just never know how spicy food is going to be from one curry house to the next.
Taxi picking us up at nine forty five for a ten forty three train. It’s a twenty five minute trip so a bit of contingency in there.

Very nice livery in 1st on Avanti West Coast fair play. What’s more it has contactless charging on the table in front of me. There are only two of us in this carriage at the moment. The irony is that both our reservations are aisle seats facing each other on the same table. No way am I sitting opposite him 🙂 I now have a table to meself. Coat hanging up.
Attendant just came to check whether I knew this coach was Standard Premium and not First Class. To be quite frank it isn’t worth paying an extra hundred quid just to have free drinks. Would be avoiding alcohol anyway at ten forty three ey em, on a Sunday, during Ramadan.
Outside, rows of terraced houses with evenly spaced chimneys surround a church. Do the house dwellers all attend Sunday service?

Kissed THG goodbye on the platform. She is meeting Jenny off the eleven oh three Merseyrail to go for lunch at the Crown. The Crown looks v art deco from the outside. My train to London only has four stops including Runcorn, Crewe and Milton Keynes. I get Crewe and even MK but Runcorn is just outside Liverpool and nobody seems to have got on.
