Adventures

Yesterday had a real adventure. Took the bus from our village into the centre of Carlisle. Not a great feat you might think, but although I use the train and fly to France regularly, its not since university that I've been a bus user. The village has 4 buses a week, just one out and one back on 4 days in the week, so woe betide you if you miss the return trip - you might have to wait for 3 days before you can get home! The route takes in lots of the small villages between here and Carlisle, but the driver only returns via those he's picked people up from on the way out, so the journey took an hour in and only 30 minutes back! But I do wonder what happened to the other 4 people who got off the bus in Carlisle with me - none of them came on the bus back...a black hole in Cumbria?
