Back on the trains.

Up early today as I was catching the 7,45 am bus into Hull. It meant I had over an hour before the train departed for Sheffield but that was just the way the times lined up, or didn't so to speak. I managed to collect an advance ticket for a later journey that I had booked and also had time for a white chocolate mocha in Starbucks!
Had time to nip outside at Sheffield and take a picture of the fountain in the entrance.
Also of some spectacular chimneys and a bike rack on the station platform!

I got a seat on all the trains with no hassle, the third one was a bit crowded but it was okay. The last one was quite empty which was good and Hazel and Brian were at the station to meet me. Hazel  got me a lovely meal and we had a good natter and Hazel even got me to get whatssap on the phone!!
Was at the hotel before 8 pm and on the seventh floor this time. I went out for a bit of a walk and took a few pictures of trees.


I have done the steps down and up! Maybe won't bother again!! A few sunset pics to finish.

  1. Well it looks like it was glorious weather from start to finish of your day. Some lovely pics. Bit of everything really. Architecture, flora and a brilliant sunset. You don’t get the chance to capture those so often now, but when you do you certainly make good use of it.
    Glad your day went ok. I do envy the fact that you’re such a seasoned traveller and take it all in your stride. I really wish I could do the same.
    Give the stairs a miss tomorrow. Elisha Otis didn’t go to all that trouble for nothing you know :-)

  2. It was great weather yesterday and has been lovely today as well.
    The journey went well, I do know what I am doing now which certainly helps.
    Elisha Otis, had to look him up, very interesting!
