Daily Travels in the UK (and beyond)

The early start today was to head east to Norwich. I was delivering the 2012 Hyundai I35 I collected on Friday to an independent dealer in Norwich. Another beautiful sunny day ahead and it's starting to get warmer and feels like a hot summer coming. I decided to take the Aylesbury to Milton Keynes then Bedford on the A421 and head up the A1 briefly and then navigate the road to Cambridge which is still full of major works . Aylesbury to Norwich It's a 3 hours drive, given a

I was going to have today a working from home day. I had two jobs on Monday From Bicester to Norwich. Back to London in the train to collect a Mercedes S500 going to Leighton Buzzard prep centre. I decided, however to make Monday a little easier by collecting the car from Bicester today. So I made my way early to Bicester station. A place I try to avoid normally due to the usually loaded trains of Bicester Village shoppers carrier bags of designer gear usually bigger than the

After two days tearing my hair out trying to help a daughter settle in staying with us short term. (I will judge this "short term" later. In which our kitchen is now suffering the aftermath of a volcanic eruption of various health food supplements, healthy "ready meals" which she has delivered every two weeks apparently. So our fridge is now stuffed with this nonsense and I actually can't count, how many herbal and mushroom based teas we have on display. So, the relief of get

Not for me a rest day. Or even a day to catch up with paperwork or marketing for my various online projects. No, today was helping my daughter move out of her London address. Which was supposed to be an apartment in a block with facilities to health and wellbeing. Turned out to be a nightmare for her. So being a father, I offered her to stay with us until she found something else suitable. . So moving most of her life into storage was today's operation. Van hired. Storage boo

After a nice few days off. Making bread on Saturday as I'm trying to replicate my mother's famous Jewish rye bread recipe. (I'm not Jewish or religious. I do believe in God, just not yours) The results were ok but I just can't get it the same. I need to get more patience from somewhere. Today's tasks were to deliver the Audi Q3, I collected on Friday to the prep centre in Leighton Buzzard and collect from there, a Kia X-Ceed for Motability, again, and delivery it to an ind

Today Was another quick trip to Leighton Buzzard to the often visited prep centre there. lately, avoiding asking for help from anyone. Do you remember my encounter there previously ? For those who know. This will explain this course of action. Prep centre Leighton Buzzard I took the X4 bus from Aylesbury to Milton Keynes which now stops right outside the centre. I was collecting another Peugeot 3008 from there, this time to be taken to a customer in Cardiff, Wales. Then I had

Alright, let’s be honest. The idea of being your own boss, hitting the open road, and making a decent living sounds pretty sweet, right? If you’re like me, the thought of clocking in at some dreary office or factory just doesn’t cut it. So, what’s the alternative? Self-employed driving jobs. Yep, those gigs where you’re in the driver’s seat—literally and figuratively. Now, before you imagine yourself as the next big trucker king or queen, let me walk you through some of the b

I have been promising myself to get up to date. I'm digging into my diary to tell you what happened in May, during beautiful sunshine. But because I am busy (taking on too much work) I'm not getting time to write every day. So this episode dated 29th May 25. Is being written from my diary and photos taken that day. On a quite cold Halloween afternoon the 31st October. The question is. Do you really need to hear about every day from May to now? Or would you prefer to get a dai
