We now have in our carriage one person who had a panic attack and one who just had a vasovagal episode And after that 25 minutes we got going a short way and are noe stationary again.
Appalling.
Spectacular work from the (expensive) clowns at @GWRHelp. Delayed already because of problems for the train ahead in getting to Bathampton, now predicted to be stationary for 20 mins near Thingley. 'Congestion'. Due to what, FFS?

The Meffs on excellent form tonight in Southampton, even by their own high standards. Also impossible-not-to-dance-to ska-punk in support from locals the Bob Cats. A good venue, tucked away in suburbia.

Yesterday morning, I walked down into Zomba to look at the old Gymkhana Club, then met up with Becky's friend Moses. We then talked of architecture, politics, corruption and neo-colonialism. We then all went to a Malawi Super League game - Red Lions 1 Luanar Mutundu 0.
Meeting Charlie today gave us a chance of a visit to the Mango Tree Nursery, a taste of some of the great work being funded around Cape Maclear by #changingstarsmalawi.
Then a bumpy, as we knew it would be, to Zomba via Mangochi, Liwonde & Machinga to Zomba.
