And at work. Dreary grey day in London and stacks of work on my desk, but on the plus side there are scones in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Got up yesterday and had breakfast before strolling to the train station. Leaving at 11.40 is awkward – to late to just go and too early to do anything else. But we got an earlier train and got to the port and on the ferry. Settled into our room and went and had a lovely lunch. Travelling by ferry is nice, especially if you have a cabin, but it is much longer than the train. We went out on deck and Joe took photos as we left. Then just napped. We did manage to get home about an hour earlier than I expected us to, so that was good.<\/p>\n
