Quite the adventure

Master B and I travelled by bus to collect Miss B from school this evening.
She announced that she'd rather get a train than a bus home.
So off we went under the viaduct and up the hill to the station, just one stop away from home...

Alas we missed a train by minutes, but hurrah we had chocolate raisins to sustain us for the half hour until the next one was due.

The next train didn't come.
It was cancelled.

After a quick phone call a taxi was obtained and £4.50 later we were home.

The kids LOVED the taxi. They were acting as though they were in some kind of alternative universe, having never been in one before. "A REAL adventure!" they declared when we finally got through the door!
