I really enjoyed my bus journey yesterday. Travelling through little villages and over commons and under tree-shaded canopies. Seeing a variety of architecture. Andwitnessing the little moments of everyday conversation between ordinary people going about their lives.
I think I will aim to buy a day rider next time I have a quiet work day and go out and explore the area I live in. Stopping in some of the villages and smaller towns along the way and having a good wander.
I love trains so much that I forget what else you can get from buses. Not least if which being that you can explore more widely. But also that you get more glimpses into ordinary life.
And maybe I will take my sketchbook and try a bit of observational sketching.
