21/11/2015 to the station then down to Twickers for the match

Saturday, November 21st, 2015

Went out for a trip to Twickenham to see the Barbarians v Argentina

I walked up Hanger to the station and caught the trains to the Virginia Water – well to be exact I saw my train leave, so had to kick me heels for 1/2 hour. when I got there I crossed platforms and stepped straight onto the Twickenham train that was leaving – phew !

Once my friend Adrian arrived we walked down to the ground

After watching the match we ambled (with 38,000 others) back to the station

After catching 2 trains back to home (including a 30 minute wait at Virginia Water) I walked down Hanger to home.
