		<description><![CDATA[On the 17:36 to London Paddington. We keep passing those ubiquitous self-storage units. I associate them with trains now. Or perhaps it&#8217;s the other way round &#8211; I associate trains not with rolling countryside but with sprawling industrial amenities. 
How can there possibly be so much stuff in the world that needs storing? Who rents [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Darkness eats away at the lamplight. It&#8217;s the time of morning when everything should be still. St. Pancras glows orange and looks like a gateway to somewhere warmer and brighter.
I love the Eurostar. I love the way it feels to be moving at that speed on a pre-determined route. But I sleep the whole way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We start at dawn.  Still dark, though the clocks tell us it&#8217;s high time to be up and about, starting our business, having our coffee.  Breaking our ritual nightly fast.
At the bus stop, in a thin drizzle, we wait.  The morning lightens but does not brighten; all the world&#8217;s covered in grey [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Every time I come here I see a different city.
The first time I visited New York I was twelve.  It was nothing to me but the place of my mother&#8217;s birth; and therefore, though my only impressions of it were vague and fluid, like a film, I had some invisible tie to it.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There were ukulele players aplenty.  I&#8217;ve never seen so many ukulele players.  There were good musicians and bad musicians.  There was bowling and beer.  Kids danced, hipsters slouched (and there were a lot of hipsters, because this was Williamsburg, the hive of hipster-dom, the skinny-jean capital of the world).  There [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Late lunch followed by a walk in the park.  Not just any park.  An elevated park.  We&#8217;re up amongst the buildings&#8211;not above them, not looking up at them from the street, but weaving through them, like we&#8217;re hovering, like it&#8217;s magic.  The sun sets behind us as we walk (through? over?) [...]]]></description>

I arrived in a grump and a huff so it&#8217;s difficult to speak of the last twelve hours with any particular sentimentality.  We got here; I complained; I moaned; I dragged my suitcase up and [...]]]></description>

(I am now a geeky Converse-clad girl [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We tell ghost stories on the way home.  It&#8217;s dark; Port Meadow is black, the river is silver and still.  We have bike lights and a parafin lantern.  A mist covers the ground, as if we&#8217;re wading through it.  I can see my breath, feel the tingle of my fingers. 
Earlier we walked the other direction.  [...]]]></description>
