Exhausted! We've been travelling all day & we're not out of England yet. Took a grotty old Harrogate train to Leeds at 9.45 this morning. Pleasant sunny day & the highlight of the trip so far was 2 red kites circling alongside us as we crossed the Crimple Valley viaduct. Transpennine express from Leeds to Manchester airport. There was a sprinkling of snow over the Pennine Hills. Then we flew from Manchester to Heathrow. I'm wondering now why we didn't just book from Heathrow in the first place & get the train down to London? Such a long time ago when we booked it, I can't remember what our reasoning was. Only another 16 hours or so & we'll be in Saigon....
