We had an entire weekend at home before leaving on the sleeper train late Sunday night. Of course, we packed and repacked several times. It's impossible for us to travel light, but having to carry stuff for the dogs added to it.
We spent much of Saturday outdoors as it was a lovely day, starting with a walk through Richmond Park to see the deer. They are all growing their antlers in for the fall rut, and they are still covered in velvet.
On Sunday, our friends Farah and Jools invited us to a party, and they didn't want the doggies to leave.
Finally the time came and we took the tube through London to Euston Station, where the sleeper train leaves from. We had a private berth, just the 4 of us. The Caledonian Sleeper is MUCH better than the French sleeper we took a few years ago. It's not like sleeping in your own bed, but it's ok, and better than sitting in a seat for 8 hours. It leaves Euston in the north of London at 23:00 and arrives in Glasgow at 7:00. About 30 mins before it arrives, the conductor comes through with coffee and a small snack.
