I’ve just had a little too much cheese and a few too many water biscuits.

Impossible. You can never have too much cheese.

Oh, and you want wheat crackers too, just the best to carry the cheese.

I've just had about 15 with a selection of extra mature cheddar, At Agur and a zesty goats cheese.

I bet that tasted horrible.

She was also given a "Milka" chocolate advent calender (Also not from us, when your birthday is on Dec 1st people tend to think in the same direction) so she's happy: chocolate and a kitten...

Beautiful Daughters Schleich "Pony stables" advent calender (not bought by us I might add) produced a small resin kitten.

They do not come cheap. Over here, they're closer to £50.

I should really be wrapping Christmas parcels, but I just can't be bothered. As there's still over a week to go, why hurry.

Just been on the last intercity 125 LNER passenger service, purely by chance. The 1935 from KX to Leeds. They were selling the window stickers and there was a queue!

 

[Jenkins]

On today's ride I was litening to the "Discover Weekly" playlist on a Spotify free account which means there are a couple of adverts every three or four tracks. All bar one advert slot contained the Uber Eats/McDonalds one. There are 30 tracks on the playlist. I promise never to use this service after that!

Whilst I realise the trains may be slow, to expect us to believe you were travelling for the last 85 years is pushing it. Just get your claim for late arrival in soon.

Last one will be in British Rail colours.

Kings Cross to Leeds?

I estimate it arrives in Leeds at 2055, so the journey could have taken 120 years.

I hope the buffet car is open.

That would mean he's not here yet then! Lost in Beechings cuts?

 

[classic33]

The average journey time between London Kings Cross and Leeds is 2 hours 46 minutes. Fastest is 1 hour 59 minutes.

It's getting very early and time I headed for bed.

Good night!

Now you see why we didn't buy it. There are a number of well-off (and generous) people in this village: we're in management country.

Morning, I’ve been up an hour, on second cup of tea.

My goodness, first you go and visit Newbury, and now you're drinking two cups of tea in an hour... is there no end to your quest for excitement?
