No more driving

3920 miles - that how far I have driven in the hire car, from Stratford-upon-Avon in central England to the Orkney Islands at top of Britain , and all the way back down to the very bottom of the country.

A 5 hour train trip from Penzance to London, and the view from our accommadation has gone from this:

I know which one I prefer. 

And, I never thought I would say this, but I am glad to be not driving for the next 5 or so weeks. Constantly driving on unfamiliar roads, many of which are so narrow that they should be one way, and never knowing when there will be a vehicle coming at me on my side of the road - gets very tiring and stressing. It is trains, planes and buses, and feet, from now on.
