Travelling to and from work



So one thing that has changed since we moved is that it takes longer for me to get to work.  If I catch the right set of trains, I can get to work in 65 minutes.  But most of the time, it takes me about 90 minutes.  

Previously, the view rushing past the coach window would have been buildings and roads and brick and glass.  That is still largerly true, but the view for the portion of my journey nearest our new neighborhood is a stark contrast. Here are a couple glimpses.

Old Hatfield

We are only a few minutes walk away from a quaint old town.  Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.  In the interest of full disclosure, the rest of the town is not quite as picturesque.
