Congrats Deb, know how it feels! I started commuting bike-train-bike on a Brompton in January, after not cycling for a good 25 years. I'm loving it, though had to build up gradually to the busier roads. At the work end of my commute I do at least have the option of quieter back roads and off road cycle paths, which has helped to build my overall confidence and balance.
I am dreading later in the year when I will probably have to cycle in Central London though.
I'd love a Pashley for local stuff but no room for storage at home
