Daddy got on the 7:52 train from London Kings Cross to Wakefield Kirkgate with a scheduled arrival of 9:50PM, but tonight sadly there has been an accident just South of Doncaster where a section of the overhead power cable has come down (onto a rain and apparently peeling a section of its roof off in the process 🙁 ) and rendered all northbound trains defunct.

The train is likely to be more than three hours delayed and the train has run dry….

At least it is a day off tomorrow so Costa can come to the rescue with some drugs to keep daddy awake – also known as two large Americanos please 🙂

3:30am was the final arrival time back at ForkHall – a whole 5 hours late 🙁

First frost of the Winter

Simon is on the train heading to London Town and having just passed Grantham station noticed that the fields and trees down here all have that beautiful white sheen of frost 🙂 he is thankful for being in the warm train carriage but what a beautiful morning 🙂

Guess it is going to be slippy underfoot today – be careful out there…

Christmas is coming

We are rapidly heading towards Christmas time – we have lots to do of course and work and school are simply getting in the way 🙂

Next weekend, mummy is having a haircut on Saturday morning and then once finished, we are heading over to the Christmas Tree farm in Methley to select and cut down our family tree 🙂 It will only be the 29th November but the next weekend will be well into December of course 🙁

We are also planning to head up to Beamish Museum to make the most of our season ticket that we purchased earlier in the year with the Drewetts 🙂

 

Great weekend

We enjoyed a top weekend last weekend as we had several items planned in to do and we managed to get them all done 🙂

We started out with a fun lunch at the Bulls Head in Horbury before heading up to the theatre at Saint Austin’s in Wakefield. Sophie May played Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty wonderfully and the whole cast put on a tremendous show on the day.

Following Elliot’s swimming lesson (Oliver still not well enough to swim after being ill during the week) we head out to Halifax to take lunch over to Grannie Cuckoo’s house and to see Grandma’s new bungalow that she recently got the keys for. It needs a little paint and a couple of new radiators and will be good to go – thankfully there is plenty of time to get it all done right before moving in 🙂

We finally came back to Ossett to do homework before the kids going to bed and daddy heading out for a few cheeky (and dirty) Sunday beers with a curry with the boys 🙂
