Mind the gap!

I'm writing this on the tube. As I'm living a bit further out now I've been spending a bit more time travelling. Like other commuters, I like whiling away the time by reading, daydreaming or like now - jotting down ideas for this newsletter! I can see people having forty winks, fiddling with their phones, catching up on news in Metro and tapping their toe to the music their listening to! Ok I have to go now- this is my stop!
