Morning! 

Damn, no crumpets so a hot cross bun will have to do, even though its way too early. Both in the 6am and the February sense. Here we go then...

As I’ve written in my 924 thread, I’m going to sell it shortly. I ‘accidentally’ found a car I really want a couple of months too early but it’s too good to pass on so I’m (hopefully) buying it now before I’ve sold the 924. So sit back and be bored as I travel across Britain to collection a car. First leg is a green train to that London.

The train is called Alison, and I’m in the quiet coach. Shhhh!

Repatriating a volvo, hence early start so you don't get caught, because Scotland time is 2 hours behind?

The train is going to Scotland but I’m not. I’m getting off at Wigan.

Hopefully the only welding I’ll be looking at close up today.0294E267-A052-4922-9B5F-5ECDC736B152.thumb.jpeg.eab79e223680c1d51d21ac0677e698f4.jpeg

Time for a spot of lunch before the next leg. It’s a football day today apparently so all the pubs are packed. I’ve found one thats empty, which must be good sign, and ordered a pie & chips.

The pie and chips was, er, challenging.  They were pushing the definitions of both ‘steak’ and  ‘pie’.The steak was hard and a bit crunchy and the pastry was soft, I’m sure it should be the other way around.

Final leg, train towards Liverpool, but getting off along the way at a place called Garfield. 

Train seats very purple and jazzy.

Yes. The updates have proved very "inconsistent".

The deal is done. Further updates shortly. Hitting the m6 to Birmingham where I’m planning an overnight stay.95E3A176-CA6C-4290-A750-56E3BA421A20.thumb.jpeg.029d8168a1f115b6a388c8db509d8af2.jpeg
