The joys of travelling by train to Oxfordshire.
First struggle with suitcase to the station and on the train, then put up with the joy of listening to mobile phone conversations all around you.
Struggle down steps at Charing Cross to tube booking hall or have the indignity of having a taxi driver heave you into the cab. Why are London taxis so high off the ground?
Two further trains hoping that the lift is working when changing platforms and also hoping son is there to help me over the platform bridge at his little rural station.
Son then asks why I have not visited for a long time.
