Trials

After a coffee and a natter first thing I left Smithski and J9 just as the rain took a turn for the biblical. Which meant the next five hours spent on three trains was damp and miserable although I did finally get a seat at Carlisle which was a relief.

Mrs S picked me up from the station and there was a lamb casserole on the go with an apple and blackberry tart ready to slide in the oven. It was lovely to see everyone again and catch up over dinner.
