1. Journey there-04.12.21 As usual, we travelled from Northampton to Frome courtesy of three TOCs, London Northwestern CrossCountry and Great Western Railway. All went well apart from a tight change at Gloucester caused by our inbound XC service being delayed leaving Birmingham New Street. This leg of the journey also marked my first time at a new station since its opening last year, namely Worcestershire Parkway.

2. Trip to Bath-06.12.12 For our Christmas dinner, my wife, mum and her partner went to the lovely Circus Restaurant in Bath. Whilst we all drove to Bath from Frome my wife and I enjoyed some post dinner shopping and exploration of Bath so caught the train back in the early evening. Altogether, a very pleasant day!

3. Journey back-07.12.21 Our journey back from Frome to Northampton went without a hitch arriving bang on time. The weather was pretty appalling for most of the journey with strong wind and heavy, driving rain thanks to the leading edge of Storm Bara.
