Solo to Barcelona
As a single woman of a certain age, I am well used to travelling on my own, which usually involves me catching a plane to my destination. However, in February I was sent on a work trip to Barcelona by train. Okay, no worries. How long did you say it will take? All day? Right.

You see, that’s what happens when you don’t really fit in anywhere, you mix & match from whichever age group you fancy. Now, I tend not to wear age inappropriate clothes, but I do like social media, I’m on most of them, so why not give blogging a go!
I wonder if there is anybody else out there like me and my four friends, who will want to read my ramblings? Well there’s only one way to find out…
Here goes nothing!
