Ok..... what can be more nerve racking than going on a date for the first time? Well as a glutton for punishment I actually met my date in another town meaning I had to take the bus AND train to get there, 2 things I haven't done for well over a year and 2 of the things I most feared.
The train journey there wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I felt a bit disorientated for a while as I was going backwards and seeing the trees flying past either side made me feel a bit iffy but it seemed to pass.
Had a wonderful day, a meal, went to a museum and had a sit in a lovely park. My sister and mum came over to shop and meet friends who I met for the return journey. We got the bus back to the train station and I was on such a high I didn't even think about the journey. At the train station I saw an old couple struggling with cases so I took them up 2 flights of stairs for them, we got the train and had a lovely journey back!
What an amazing day and how many things I felt I conquered. I can't believe it!
