New job means new commuting views (not quite the same as the walk from one side of my house to the other) #MotivatedByBreakfast #NewTeam @BrightRTriangle

@bolger_emma Train trip from Edinburgh to York to see the viking centre and eat cakes; tree climbing at somewhere like Traquair House (not a childhood memory but places like the national trust's Geilston Gardens are also great)
