Rather miserable train journey 12:11 - Apr 15 with 290 viewsDJR

back from Portsmouth this morning.

The performance, the result, the slightly dented hopes, and to top it all the weather.

As Robert Louis Stephenson put it, so far as concerns the journey there.

"To travel hopefully is better than to arrive."

That quote is followed by these words

"and the true success is to labour."

The verb to labour has two meanings, the first to work hard and the second to struggle to achieve, and it was definitely the latter that applied to us last night, hence no success.
