You can now rest assured that Stephen has not done me in...I am alive and living in this noisy hell called England. There is no peace! There is too much transportation in this country...always a plane overhead, always a train rumbling in the distance (or mostly on the other side of our apartment wall), and so many cars (esp. here in "Greater London") that they travel in a never-ending stream down every road, always the same distance apart, like zombies. Of course, that is until there are too many cars trying to fit into the street so that they aren't able to move forward at all. Bah! And the trains are such a noisy, overpriced waste of time...it took me 1 hour and 45 min. to get to work, which is only 7 miles away. I was in tears, cursing openly on the platform as train after train was delayed, cancelled etc... I am so irritated with spending 5 pounds to travel 2 stops on the train (equivilent of spending $12.00 CAN to travel from Dorval to NDG return-for those of our Montreal readers) and on top of that, to not provide a train for an hour, when there are at least 6 trains normally scheduled in that time frame!). RANT-OVER.
Thankfully, I have a bicycle, and it has stopped being icy, and all the broken spokes are fixed, so I have been gleefully escaping the trains and cars, and instead zipping down the tow-path of the Basingstoke Canal. Just this week I decided to start bringing the camera, and here are some pictures:
I am now off of work for the next 5 days, and will post more blogs...hopefully without any whinging!
