Gloves on, gloves off, gloves on, gloves off. Its been a right pain with the gloves, but since I’m exposed to so many different surfaces, some of which might be carrying the virus, I thought it best to play safe. Especially as I love taking photos on my travels, I don’t want to ‘infect’ my phone 🤪🤪🤪🤢
So, well done to South Eastern railway for getting us to St Pancras only 5 minutes behind schedule despite the trespassers on the line at Margate. I’ve never seen St Pancras station or trains so empty.
After a couple of changes on the Underground I finally made it to Paddington Station, well ahead of time, only to find my next train had been cancelled…😕😕🙄 so a long wait of 1.5 hours ensued
and I’m sure I clocked up at least 3 kms pacing up and down…the seats are too cold to sit on. Besides which I know how long the virus lingers on stainless steel and I am trying to avoid any contact.
However, on the plus side I had time to visit Paddington Bear and grab a cuppachino from Nero.
I’m finally on my train and all being well I’ll get to my destination…only 1 hour 13 minutes behind schedule.
Thankfully the outgoing Carer is taking a few days break and is not enroute to another job. I really should have insisted that the agency give me a job closer to ‘home’.
I was impressed to note that even the finer details have been thought of
Memorable, unique travel experiences, to be sure.
