mandragoraSo, Wednesday my purse was nicked. Whilst I was in court. Sigh.
Whoever took it must have unzipped by bag and taken it out, probably whilst I was taking instructions from my client outside court.
Today, the plan was to drive![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thermidor and me up to the temaris residence to go and see 'Daredevil' and then watch Buffy, Angel and Smallville vids and DVDs. I went to open the driver's door to my car, only to find that it was open. 'That's weird', I thought, because I never forget to lock the car. Then I looked over to the passenger seat where Thermidor is sitting, only to find that all the stuff that was normally tucked away was chucked onto the floor. Then I looked to where my CD collection normally is. Only there was nothing there.
Yes, that's right. At some point between Wednesday and Saturday my car was broken into and my CDs, plus map of the UK, were stolen.
Double sigh.
Great week. Not.
Oh well, at least the rest of Saturday was enjoyable. Enjoyed the film, had a good lunch, great company and lots of TV watching complete with slashy comments.
But. Still. Sigh.

Where I grew up, in a village of about 500 people, we had a direct rail route into Sheffield although there was only one train every two hours or so. Ditto the buses, which frustratingly were timetabled to coincide pretty much with the trains - fantastic planning on someone's part. We could also get a bus to Bakewell and from there to any Peak District village within 20 miles radius, as Bakewell was a transport hub. However, the buses were not very frequent, often only one every couple of hours or so. Advance planning was essential.
Might be fun to attempt, though, if you're reasonably relaxed about it all. You could book into a B&B in such a place as Bakewell and then go out to various places from there.
The same should apply whichever area you choose. Just make certain you get an up-to-date timetable!
