Alarm at
5:20am to go down to Devon for a tennis
tournament, of course it's the day of the biggest storm of the year.
I check
trains to see if they are running and I see they go, all of them but one. The
first of my awfully long series.
F*ck.
My garden after the storm |
Think fast,
easy to say, but it's damn 5am...ok, if I take a bus, then the tube I can make
it to the station I need. Run.
A quick
look outside and I see that there is a tree where yesterday I had my clothes
drying in the wind...oh well, ain't no time for that.
Everyone is waiting for news |
I make it
to the station, on time, but of course everything is getting cancelled or
delayed...thankfully my train is not cancelled, but it will run or, better,
walk slowly through the storm.
I reach my
last coincidence city 45 minutes late only to find out that the railway it's
flooded, so they are trying to organize a bus. Don't ask me why but I found it
hilarious.
During the
travel I get to know an Italian tennis player, Giulia Gatto Monticone, she's
very cool and she as well agrees to have an interview tomorrow.
Quite a little water |
The green
valleys of Devon are flooded and at times it's almost scary to look out of the
window, but eventually I reach Barnstaple.
It's almost
1pm. Time for my job to start, on court, taking pics and contacting players for
interviews.
A normal
day in the office.
