Southbound
Up and a happily less talk from the annoying little man this morning over breakfast. I had haggis as part of my traditional breakfast, and Lorraine added haggis and black pudding. Passive aggressive hoovering outside our door just before it was time to leave. Funny wee men, but otherwise our room was clean and tidy and the breakfasts very good.
The bus along into Princes Street, where we lurked about shopping, as Sam, who has been having trouble with his sleep patterns, decided to stay in bed. Instead Lorraine arranged to have two pairs of shoes, identical to the ones she was wearing, sent to Brighton. Journey home fairly unremarkable, played cards and read a little, and stared out of the window at the grey North Sea off the Northumberland coast.
Rightly ignored advice from St Pancras staff to travel to Victoria to get the train, and caught the next scheduled train to Brighton with a delay of a mere five minutes or so. Beth kindly collected us from Preston Park station, and home at last just after eight. I spoke briefly to Toby and Mum on FaceTime.
Accidentally took a highly arty shot out of the window.
