Right gang.

I got home at 5.15 after leaving at 07.30

This morning Sweet Sally got up at stu-I-0-clock on her day off to get me to the station.

Thank you Sally.

Had a few bits to do at home when I got there.

@Forddan68 popped around to look and took a few pics, including one of me…… GRINNING.

Then came over to Sallys place for dinner.

Now trying to unwind a bit, interesting how you get wound up slowly on a road trip.


So……

Starting with Strood, my local station.




Tickets .




I also grabbed bits of footage for the YouTube channel.

Hopefully edited and uploaded by tomorrow , so be patient.



Then headed to St Pancras Station, followed by a quick walk over to Kings Cross for my second train up to Doncaster.



Super nice, fast trains.





Soooo smart.

Staff were great too.



Got off the fast train, really enjoyed it.

Certainly better than my local services.



Getting to Doncaster it was time for train number 3 of the day.

Next stop S****horpe



Shortest train ever…….

Two coaches.

Diesel.

Loved the sound, the drone and pace.



30 minutes later I got to my destination.

That’s it.

Good night.




Well…….

I walked out the station and saw Colin, the seller drive in.

Perfect timing.

Car was as nice as the photos showed.

So I jumped in, and we headed to his home, 25 minutes away.

Met his wife, the dog (she is awesome) and we moved money and paperwork about.

Then he headed out to get the wife to Hull, to a hospital appointment.

I sat and set up the Satnav, set it for home.

Started up……..

Grinned like a mad man.

Reversed out the drive, and drove off.

Still grinning.
