The U.K.'s patchwork

A lovely evening last night with my son and his girlfriend but a very early (4.15am) start this morning. I arrived in town 20 minutes early so that I could find the right bus stop for the airport bus... but couldn't find it... which lead to my running with suitcase to the bus station along the road to ask where the stop was, and then running back with just a minute to spare before the bus arrived. Goodness I was panicking!
