It was so ridiculously wet and windy this morning on my day off that I decided to do what I had been threatening to do for a while and drive to the Seamus Heaney museum. I got diverted all over the place due to roadworks and it took forever to get there.
The museum is definitely very interesting to anyone with an interest in poet and worth a visit.
The weather had improved drastically when I got there and I regretted not having the Brompton in the boot to go for a ride in different surroundings. I decided to take a drive to the coast for a walk which took forever due to roadworks, diversions and traffic jams in the towns. I arrived at the coastal path I wanted to walk just in time for torrential rain!
I drove home again with yet more roadworks, lots of standing water and being tailgate by X5 drivers who seemed to take offence at me driving a bit slower in heavy rain and poor visibility.
What I learned today is never leave home without your Brompton as you never know when the opportunity will arise for a impromptu ride and also why I drive less and less each year - driving is tedious and boring.
