Perhaps a weekend when the Circle Line ISNT being repaired would have been better. Despite the Carling Cup i havent seen a single Welshman so far.Several Bradford fans were out yesterday, but no Swansea fans thus far. A decent lunch with an old friend (and her husband but fortunately not the dog) followed. Islington is ok but i still prefer the rough n ready of Camden. Then with some difficulty found the Hammermith and Cityline.I dont think they want you to use that one folks. Dived on the train to Witham with a couple of minutes to spare.. As as since time immemorial, lo and behold, the creaky Braintree connection was there waiting. Just myself and two urchins travelling in my coach and they got out at Cressing. Braintree Station. A time bubble.Stlll looks the same although everything round it has changed. Even the tatty railway cottages have been painted an look very countrified now! Change everywhere. Lots of Kebab shops, a small Polish shop, the Cinema is a Wetherspoons. The Old Court hotel is now a shell of peeling paint and adverts for the Bridge club. Lot of tatty Tudor houses needing TLC - lucky a few now have SOLD signs on them, so might be improving. And the Institute is reduced playing host to travelling Mediums. Woolies is now Iceland so i guess it could have been worse.
