Ok the moment has finally arrived - the journey started at 2.20 when the taxi driver knocked on the door. Arrived at Plymouth train station at 2.40.  Looked up at the departure board and saw that our train had been cancelled.  Not a good start - hope its not a start of things to come!  After moaning to my wife Sandra for the next half an hour and cursing the train, I finally accepted the fact I couldnt do anything about it.  Arrived at Reading about 7pm, ready for the overnight stay - hope I can get some sleep at my parents - its normally very difficult to get a good nights kip there, my dad gets up at some silly hour to make himself a cup of tea and is incapable of doing it quietely.  Be even worse, just found out he needs to get to Dover for 3am - so looks likely we wont get any sleep...im not so good when i dont have my kip, Sandra will back me up on that.....
