Everything was going too smoothly, the packing and house prep was all finished with time in hand, Peter and Helen got me to the station in bags of time and the sun was shining then in Chester after waiting a while for my connection to Euston there was an announcement to say that the service had been cancelled and that we should catch a later train to Crewe and then catch the next connection to Euston, 10 minutes later this train had been cancelled due to technical problems in Crewe with no further information forthcoming. I had a word with one of the station staff who told me that my best bet was to circumvent Crewe and catch the train to Warrington where I could change for the express to Euston and from then on everything went swimmingly (why couldn’t the announcer have told us all that) I actually got to Gatwick airport only 15 minutes later than my original time.
I am staying tonight at the Hampton by Hilton which is located in the North terminal only a few minutes walk from check in tomorrow morning, the room is excellent and the bar serves Becks Vier but the dinner menu is very limited in fact half of the dishes are not available and the prices are a little inflated, however, the friendly Irish waiter has recommended a restaurant in the terminal so I shall give that a go.
