Today has been both disappointing & inspiring. Nothing new there then. One of the folks I’m staying with suggested I forget the slog of multiple buses and start getting taxis as suggested before. It’s ten mins drive from where I’m staying to Blaenavon or 1hr and 40 mins on two buses which stop in the early evening. The taxis also finish early as I discovered when I tried to get one from A&E after midnight last week but that’s another story…
Anyway, my taxi today was great and good to get to my destination quickly without getting soaked for a change. It cost £15. I met some lovely folks in Blaenavon & delighted that a couple I want to collaborate with said yes.
Sadly, it was impossible to get a taxi back from Blaenavon. There is a local taxi but no-one could locate the number neither online or in the phonebook. This meant I had to cancel the early evening walk & shoot I had planned & get the last bus. So here I sit on the bus in the pissing rain but with a new idea. I have a weekly bus pass which only cost £21 & intend to get my money’s worth.
Sometimes constraints can be a beautiful thing.
