92 Clubs – Day 48 – Yeovil
They say you should leave the best to last, but this was not a case of that. But with Yeovil, it was much a case of saving the worst to last.
The only good bit was going to the town on a High Speed Diesel Train changing at Castle Cary for Yeovil Pen Mill.
Before I left, I looked up their web site to see how you get to the ground from the station. My eyes aren’t good, but look at this page, which gives directions to the ground. Trains, buses and walking aren’t even mentioned. So I sent the club an e-mail and of course they didn’t bother to reply. They don’t appear from the site to run a match-day bus either!
When I arrived at the station, I walked to the town centre, along a pleasant path in a country park, but once in the centre, despite plenty of signs to it, I couldn’t find the tourist information centre. I think when I did, it wasn’t signed and it was closed.
So in the end I took a taxi to the ground and got the driver to drop me at the station on the way back. I think we saw just one sign to the ground and that was when you could actually see Huish Park. So I just took a picture and retreated.
Huish Park, Yeovil
The only trouble was I had to wait ninety minutes for the train. But at least the station was worth seeing from an architectural point of view and had been well restored.
I was back at Paddington just before 16:30 to complete my odyssey.
In my travels, I have not found a town or football club with so little information for vistors. I shall not be going again. I certainly won’t have to look far for my dump of the week.
A Dress For C!
C bought several of her summer dresses from Oasis. One particular pink halter neck dress appears in quite a few of the pictures, I have of her.
I have a feeling that this dress might well have ended up in her wardrobe.
A Dress for C!
One of the joys of living with C, was going shopping for clothes together. Often, she wouldn’t like a dress or I wouldn’t like a pair of trousers, but the other would say they would be fine. Usually, the decision was right.
So why is this dress so right for C?
Her arms and waist were her best features. her legs weren’t too bad either and although it would have been too short for her five years ago, with black tights, it certainly wouldn’t be now!
