Because of a train strike in England on Boxing Day we had to change our return journey to 27 December.
It meant we could catch up with my brother and his family on Boxing Day at my dad’s – as well as watching Fulham thump nine-man Palace on the telly with Nathan.
It also meant we could not get a direct train from Lille to Lyon but instead had to change trains at Lille and go to Paris to then change again.
It gave us the opportunity to walk around Lille for a few minutes and notice some impressive tops to some buildings.
There might not have been any train strikes but that didn’t mean no queueing. For some reason at Lille we were left on the platform for a while and it was a bit chaotic- but we made it back to Lyon safely and on time.
