No one said it would be easy - part 2

.
Apologies for 2 posts in one day. Yesterday my mind was too numb to type.
.
However, we can make as detailed plans as we like, in the end fate steps in and does what it likes.

1. Today Victoria and Michelle were taking 4 excited boys on the train to Manchester (Science Museum plus other stuff). The train was part of the treat. So what happens? All train services are terminated at Preston (someone jumped from a bridge further down the line). Buses were provided, but it's not quite the same.

2. Rob and Claire packed the car with daughter, dog and luggage and set off for Derbyshire. An hour and a half down the motorway they find they've left a vital bag on the settee (nothing much in it - just phones, cameras and wallets etc!). So they came back north and Henry and I went south. We met on a motorway bridge - if it had been a misty we could have been spies exchanging secrets.

3. Nothing so far - but remember "It's in the lap of the gods".
