Great poem. Love it.
When I moved to my humble abode in the Lakes a couple of years ago, I was looking forward to doing exactly the same, only to be told there are no buses hereabouts.
They have since put a few on, but no one seems to use them, perhaps because they don't go where we would like to travel; perhaps because they weren't publicised.
I wonder if the new president is considering introducing free bus passes for US pensioners? I am sure he would love to.

Thanks Jonathan.
Last year we took full advantage of our bus pass whilst on a self-catering holiday in the Lakes.
We arrived by car, then never used it once during the whole week; the bus stop was right outside our cottage.
Result? less pollution, less traffic congestion, fewer frayed nerves, more walking....and a healthier population - Take note government, please!

Ah, the joy of the bus pass, Jonathan ... let's just hope it's still available by the time you reach the right age!
