A month into country living, and instead of 'car-less' I'm saying 'car-free' - it's going well. It's interesting the reaction though - with lots of 'wow that's brave' comments. People used to be called brave for going to war / leading revolutions - but now it's ... not owning a car. I'll look out for the honours list next year! Trains are great - when they run and when they run on time. For those familiar with the Cotswold line service, they'll know that this doesn't happen too often. I could rant for ever about the abysmal service, but suffice to say that my train journey to Devon for Christmas ran on-time, there were seats, it was a great experience. Imagine if this was the norm... Whilst I'm pleased the icy roads of last weekend didn't last, it's now time to invest in some weaterproof trousers. Milder wetter winters mean more drizzle - fine if you're prepared! Blog post by jo_hamilton on Jan. 11, 2008 at 11:09 a.m. |
