Achiela

Didn't get to sleep until 3 o'clock this morning due to the evenings crazy antics. Only got about 4 hours sleep because a small group of us wanted to escape as early as possible so we could get an early train back home. The journey itself was a right nightmare, not only were we tired, hungry and had own bed withdrawal symptoms, we had to wait for an hour for the train from Tiverton Parkway, which itself is tiny and doesn't have any direct trains of any use. From TP went to Castle Cary, then change at Salisbury, then change at Southampton, then finally change at Brockenhurst to Lymington then to end up home. Overall it was about a 5 hours journey. Between trains I managed to photograph this achiela at Castle Cary station.
This afternoon has been spent slowly recuperating and watching tv with copious amounts of tea.
Tomorrow is parents evening which is always a favourite time of mine. The whole process of sitting in a classroom with your parents in silence while your teachers relay their thoughts or worries about you is always an entertainment in itself.
