Folks might want to get into the unplug movement! Really just a way to get some insight, support and motivation for getting some headspace back. There can be safety issues too (that terrible case recently of a cyclist kiled by a woman driver texting). These habits can be so addictive can’t they. I know from late night, first hand experience on the internet.

Why is a blogging enterprise encouraging people to unplug? We feel a moral imperative to encourage balance. And we teach what we most need to learn…

I’m one of your two green grooms! Just to say that we had a great honeymoon (and wedding before – the sun shone for the canoeing to church!) by train.

After the first 2 nights just outside Exeter (admitedely reached by car) we set off for the station using Exeter ecocar taxi company http://www.exeterecocars.co.uk and then travelled via First Great Western and Eurostar to Paris arriving around 8. A hour or two for a leisurely drink in the evening sunshine before the sleeper to Munich. Being the honeymoon we went 1st class which meant en-suite shower and toilet and a complimentary glass of sparkling wine as well as breakfast. After arriving at 9 we only had a 30 minute gap to our train to Salzburg and then a connecting bus to our hotel in the lake district (Salzkammergut) nearby.

A week later we travelled by train onto Zermatt in Switzerland and then back via 3 nights in Paris. All tickets sorted by Railbookers – who are highly recommended. Great fun!
