..It's not the journey - it's the arriving, and we wish you a safe and pleasant journey however you travel, be it by train, coach, car, bike, magic carpet or even broom stick. .Turn your volume down, keep calm, play some games if you get bored, open the window and get some fresh air, stop for coffee breaks every hour, chew gum - which is said to be better than having a coffee, pay attention to the road ahead, don't put one finger up at other drivers, signal when overtaking or turning - switch your lights on if raining, however light, and
BE SEEN BY OTHERS - be nice - and most importantly -
enjoy your journey as it is part of your time away from home.
