I am in Torbay. I arrived by train from Bicester. There were 2 changes of train, with only 6 minutes between predicted arrival and departure. Both changes were made in ample time. We have something to be proud of. Our railways.

The journey was in cold mist all the way to Exeter, where at last the sun came out. The journey along the coast, just feet from the breaking waves is spectacular. It must be incredible when the wind is blowing hard.

Tired, so eating in the hotel today, a pint and a snack. Staying in the Imperial. Look at the wedding photographs of Lucy’s wedding and you will see the hotel lights at night from across the bay.
