A new location: Buckinghamshire

Winslow, Buckinghamshire

Our train travel today was smooth and we arrived at the Bletchley station after a few hours from Eastbourne and one transfer at Clapham Junction.  We had the taxi drop us at the Milton Keynes urgent care, to have a doctor look at my left hand which had developed a rash.  After waiting 3 hours or so, and at no cost, I saw the doctor.  Everything was actually fine, and we continued on our way by taxi to Winslow, Buckinghamshire to find out cottage B&B.  The cottage dated from 1605 and had quite low ceilings.  Later, we walked out for groceries and made our supper at the downstairs living room.

Good night, we are off to see the sights tomorrow.

We took the train this morning from Eastbourne to Bletchley (changing at Clapham Junction).
The trains in the UK are punctual and relaxing.  So nice to ride through the countryside (especially when it is raining - beats the heck out of walking through the countryside in the rain!)

Some of the towns that our train stopped at, on our way to Bletchley:
Hemel Hempstead
Berkhampsted
Tring
Leighton Buzzard
Bletchley

But are they really any weirder than:
Menlo Park
Atherton
San Carlos
Hayward Park
Millbrae
South City?

Yes, they are.

The taxi that brought us to our B+B (Just So Cottage) had a SatNav set up - very precise - directions referencing "Roundabouts" rather than streets.

Just So Cottage was built in 1605!  Our room is tiny but so comfy.  We have a kitchen downstairs where we made an excellent salad and cups of soup.  Oh, and wine - again, surprisingly good wine available in the local shop.

Watching Spring Watch.  Badgers and water voles and foxes and rabbits and bitterns and crows and bluebirds and owls, so far.  The nest cams are fascinating.

Tomorrow - Bletchley Park - the code breaking museum from WWII.  Can't wait!
