03 February
16:34 Tim is at Winchester station. It's pretty broken today. First London train due in about 40 mins.
18:00 Tim has successfully ignored the SW Trains "do not travel" guidance. Train is warm, has snacks and the sunlit countryside is beautiful.

04 February
17:07 Tim is wondering if he has diction problems.
07:13 Tim is back in the Marriott after an evening with the Telford School crew. Bit shocked by Ashwin's Thai restaurant noteriety.

09 February
16:32 Tim is on the 0818 from Winchester. Bank card declined this morning, d'oh.

08:10 Tim has been watching the snow in Seefeld for over 24 hours. Thick and heavy this morning.
14:43 Tim is amazed by the constant, very heavy snowfall in Seefeld. Way more snow than the UK snowpocalypse, and yet the buses still totally punctual.
