Dawn had a rough day at work and it didn't end when she left the office. I was walking through Enfield town on the way to Enfield Chase station when I got a call from Dawn on my cell phone to tell me there were more disruptions to our trains. Sadly, this time it was due to a fatality at Bowes Park. So First Capital Connect had canceled all trains between Alexandra Palace and Gordon Hill. As I was virtually at Enfield Chase, it meant that taking the Hertford East route was not an option. So Dawn caught a train to Welwyn Garden City and left it up to me to work out the rest. At Enfield Chase a station employee advised me that I could get a bus to Gordon Hill outside. That journey took forever thanks to a filter light near Chase Farm. Thankfully when I got to Gordon Hill a train arrived to take me to Hertford North within a couple of minutes. Once there I walked back to the car and drove over to Welwyn to pick up Dawn and finally go home.
Two thoughts that crossed my mind as I drove to meet Dawn were that although this was an inconvenience to us, somewhere so unfortunate family would be mourning a lost one this evening, and that how lucky we are to live in a country that has a wonderful public transport system.

About Us
- Dawn & Paul White
- 2012 looms and we hope that it will be a kind year. Over the last few years we have lost Dad, George and Tiny so our lives have been forever changed. However, we have some wonderful memories that we can cherish. And at the end of the day it's memories that we strive to create. The rest is incidental.
