But as life begins to get back to (the new) normal, so I found myself waiting for a delayed departure once more (never change, South West Trains). Fifteen months in the country had left me full bumpkin-mode and I was nervous about going up. I decided I didn’t want to go on the underground if I could avoid it. As such, I dusted down my fold up bike, which I took with me, to cycle across the city centre to my meeting. When I lived in London the best part of twenty years ago, I used to cycle to work. It was a somewhat hair-raising experience.
