Can't wait for the powers that be to open a baker's shop 100 yards away.... yaay!
I've decided to use public transport too - and i will, just as soon as there is any within 5 miles of where I live. I could buy a horse and ride the 8 miles to the nearest town and get the train to work, but given it returns mid afternoon and in the middle of the night only, it'd mean coming home the next day, just in time to get the train back to work.
Course, my daughter won't mind missing school.
I've explored moving closer to work, but my employers are a mean bunch - they point blank refuse to give me the 50% pay rise i'd need to get mortgage approval - I did point out it was for the good of the planet but they just didn't get it.
