Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Changing Trains

Year 6 SATS week means no tutoring for me and a freedom to roam that happily coincides with forecast good weather for a day or two, so I researched a train trip to Edinburgh that looked a good deal at £19 on the soon expiring Transpennine Club 55 offer, but looked less attractive when it transpired that Transpennine trains don’t run north of Newcastle on the east coast line, so the route would be south to York, west to Manchester, then north via Carlisle to the Scottish capital arriving just in time to change platforms at Waverley station and set off back home again; instead I booked a ticket for Liverpool, two and a half hours with no changes and, with the railcard knocking off another 20%, only £15.20.
