Penzance to London


Penzance dawn, with seagulls.  Our Cornish daffodils (and there are jars and vases of them all over the little hotel) had come out a bit further.


And then a long rail journey back to London.  The advantages of being Aged include being able to purchase a UK senior railcard, and so it becomes ridiculously cheap to travel first class.  On GWR - Great Western Railways - this certainly gives one a bit more leg room, and some free ... water.  Sandwiches? Not on a Saturday.  "Please could I have some sea salt flavoured crisps?" "You have to pay extra for those.  You can have ordinary salted ones."  Sigh.

This, however, is the lovely view from our London room.  Only the Piccadilly line is closed tomorrow (so that they can introduce 92 new trains), so it'll have to be be a cab to Heathrow ...
