It’s currently 01.44 in Friday 12th October and I am sitting in what can only be described as the brightest train carriage known to man ! How you are supposed to sleep on this train , I don’t know - anyway - I digress.
I ( Simon ) of the intrepid fantastic 4 that make up “The Weakest List” am on my way for 4 idyllic days on the Isles of Scilly , my reason for being in the train carriage nearest the sun is simple - as I was flying back from a work trip to Basel , I thought it would be a great idea to wait 4 hours at Paddington train station and then endure 7.5 hours of sleep deprivation on the “Night Rivera” woo - don’t let me have great ideas again ....
But it’s about the journey and the craic and I can’t wait to get back on the fortunate Isles , although they appear to be a bit quiet at the moment , an Orphean Warbler on St Agnes sounds intriguing and is the only Scilly tick on there at the moment if ID is proven
I will update from the islands tomorrow , assuming the Silly Onion crossing goes well ( why !! )
Si
