Friday was a day for Cardin, and Hermès, the revival of my second best coat, and cheese sandwiches on the bus. (Three buses)
Interior view of a service bus, with the driver’s cab most distance from the camera. Reflected in a convex viewing mirror, is Sarah, a white woman, with dark brown bobbed hair and glasses. She is seated in her manual wheelchair, and is wearing black DM shoes, dark blue leggings, a black long coat, a white and blue Breton top, and a red, white, and blue tricolour scarf.

Shout out to the Vale of Rheidol narrow gauge railway (Aberystwyth) for having a National network standard wheelchair ramp, for the space. Note, the wheelchair space is in an open carriage, but I spotted roll down weather screens.
Image is of narrow gauge train carriages alongside the station platform at Devil’s Bridge. Some of the carriages are open air (but with a roof). The carriages are two tone, with a lighter (possibly cream coloured paint on the pillars, and a darker red at the lower part. A standard National Rail wheelchair ramp is positioned at a carriage doorway. A view from a steam train carriage, showing the train curving away around the corner. The small black engine, is in the distance at the front of the train.

Other delights… a beach wheelchair, at the delightfully named Poppit Sands beach. Marvellous.
Sarah, a white woman, with short dark bobbed hair, wearing sunglasses, is seated in a silver wheelchair with grey balloon tyres. Sarah has a big smile, and is well wrapped up against the cold weather. Sarah is seated on the beach wheelchair, on the sands.The waves are coming in and the sky is cloudy. Sarah is smiling.

I’m guessing the Travelcard isn’t valid now.
A very faded London Travelcard. The ticket is a faint pink. The once black writing is barely legible. The date is 19 October 2002. The destination, Embankment (single). The cost, £2.20

It’s been an interesting trial, and still is. The only thing I wish I could get: the adaptations kit available in France. Because I will need more adaptations on my next actual car. 🚙 #CitroenAmi #Electric
Two small blue cars outside a car showroom. Sarah, a white manual wheelchair user with chin length dark hair, and glasses, is in the process of receiving the keys from a dark haired man, who’s wearing a suit. Both are smiling.

Cyclist on harbour wall. The light.
A cyclist is silhouetted on a seawall, that bisects a blue winter sky with flat wide clouds and shaded sun light, and sea water with a sun reflection, and a swirling current.

Aberystwyth seafront. It’s like a postcard!
A view of a curving bay, with a stony beach, colourful houses, a monument, and the castle ruins. The sky is cloudy, but bright sunlight illuminates the houses.

Natural habitat? (and apparently all of the green).
Sarah, a white woman with grey-green eyes, and short, dark, bobbed hair, is shown riding on a train. She is smiling a little. She is wearing her black coat, a green home-knit cardigan, a floral-patterned shirt, and a green French béret.

End of the line/beginning of the adventure. (Aberystwyth)
A view through a circular decorative feature on a rusty black railing. The red buffers and double tracks are framed centrally. A station platform is visible to the right of frame, with its canopy above.
