Today was meant to be a nice easy start to our long awaited holiday. Unfortunately, the weather gods conspired against us, and with York station struck by lightning, the first journey of the trip was a little chaotic!
Several cancelled then uncancelled then recancelled trains later, we made it to Manchester airport only 2 hours later than planned. Straight to bed before the trip really starts tomorrow!

Tom got to stand in first class, I was squashed in with the riff raff!
