Day 2 on the Via di Francesco
The day began with final, final packing making sure I had everything I needed packed away in my trusty backpack. Of course there is always something like the realisation that I had left my glasses at church but that was ok – I have another pair.
I walked to the Newcastle Central Station and checked the departure board to find my first train had been cancelled. I checked and it was fine for me to get the one leaving four minutes earlier.
On to Darlington then and the bus replacement service I already knew about then the next train to London. From Kings Cross just a tube journey to Vauxhall and then another train.
I finally got to Christopher and Lucy’s and just enjoyed being amongst family. Jonathan came across for the evening which made it a great relaxing evening.
All in all today was a day of calm after the emotional storm of yesterday. The opening words of Common Worship resonated strongly.
The night has passed and the day lies open before us.
It was good to be finally on the move and despite unplanned events I calmed my mind by thinking that I only had one thing to do today which was to get to Christopher and Lucy’s. Worries about tomorrow were not necessary.
