Car-free is carefree!

I've previously blogged about the month I went car free to see if I could live without it. Now I'm forced into adjusting as I have sold the car, in an effort to get something for it before it becomes worthless and now I'm getting used to buses and trains.  Sure, it's not as easy and takes some planning, but it's also quite liberating being able to get about without worrying about traffic, roadworks and parking. It reminds me of my youth too. There is a lot to be said for planning and managing a journey and I'm doing a lot more walking in between, plus it's great for my daughter to experience. Why is that kids love getting trains and buses so much?! When do we lose that joy? I really like how you often end up having a conversation with someone too - especially as someone who works from home but is an extrovert, I need that human connection to brighten my days. I do have plans to relearn a manual so I can drive the one car we have, but it didn't make sense...
