The Station that is
 |
 |
|
| Kings Cross early in the morning. | St Pancras & Kings Cross. | |
 |
 |
|
| Not me, I’m more your standard class. | Light refreshment as I arrived too early. | |
 |
 |
|
| Wandering about. | Check in land. | |
 |
 |
|
| Won’t go far without this. | France in England. | |
 |
 |
|
| Waiting. | My train. | |
 |
 |
|
| Quite brown. | And more brown. | |
 |
 |
|
| No Duvel or London Pride for that matter. | Me in Brussels, travelling light again. | |
 |
 |
|
| A long way out. | My hotel. | |
 |
||
| My room. |
