day trip to London

A few years ago ,with a friend, I planned a day trip to London. The day trip was organised by my union. I booked 2 tickets by coach planning to spend some time in Tate Modern and site seeing. My daughter, who was at home that weekend, then informed me she was intending to spend that weekend in London visiting friends and would leave on Saturday morning returning Sunday evening. The coach left Cardiff early Saturday morning and my friend and I settled down for a pleasant day out in London. On the way we stopped at a service station for coffee. 45 minutes after leaving the service station one passenger realised she had left her purse behind at the cafe. The coach obligingly turned around and went back to the service station where the purse was retrieved. We set off again. On getting to London my friend and I started our tube journey to the Tate, However while we were waiting for a train my friend then decided she would like to stop off at St Paul’s Cathedral on the way. So we swopped station platforms for a different train. In a couple of minutes the train arrived and we duly got on. We were chatting away when suddenly a voice said “ok ignore me then!” It was my daughter whom I had left snug in bed in Penarth. She had got up and caught the 9 o’clock train to London and was on her way to meet her friends.
