The Roads Are Safe Again



After close to 8 months of being car-less in the UK, we bit the bullet and rented a car for a long weekend to go to a wedding in Stafford.

I am happy to say, that we made it back home, safe and sound. Although, we both may have a few more grey hairs.

There were no accidents, no deaths and not much swearing.

And that's just INSIDE the car!

It was a success.

APB: The roads are safe again.

When in Rome



The flight from London to Rome is about 2.5 hours.

That makes it pretty easy to have breakfast in London and lunch in Rome.

Well, for those that like to sleep in, it might be a bit of a stretch, but it certainly is do-able.

Re-purpose! Of course!
