Southampton and Home

Mary wrote: We got up at 0545 as breakfast opens at 0615. I had porridge and a hard-boiled egg, with a brown granary roll. Our bus is meant to be in place at 0700 to take us home. They want to leave at 0800 for the journey home. The passageway to the restaurant had been lined with chairs on deck 6.

We got called at about 0800 and I got a luggage trolley to put my cases on, as we have to deliver them to our bus. We got the front seats on the bus upstairs. We finally got away at 0840. The driver said it would take 2½ hours to get to Northampton, so I ran T&T taxis and booked one for 1115.

The driver was the same one who took us to the wrong side of the M1 in January, but he got us home by about 1230.
