Today was a planes, trains and automobiles day. I travelled to Ireland, leaving home at 11.45am. The plane was late starting, so I missed my connection in Dublin. Rather than waiting for the coach for an hour and a half and then having to sit on it for four and a half hours, I took a bus into Dublin to get a train to Limerick. Despite having been an Irish citizen and passport holder all my life, I have never, ever been to Dublin. It’s nice. I think I’ll go back one day.

The train was packed (Friday and everyone is going home), so I stood all the way to Limerick Junction (2 hours), changed and was picked up by my sister. It was a lot easier when Ryanair still flew to Shannon!
