Adieu ...

Today I walked into a car dealership, signed some papers, slotted my debit card into a machine, walked away round the corner, and away from my car for the last time. An hour or so earlier I'd pulled into a fairly busy car park but as I walked away it seemed all on its own in the distance. I've spent many hours in that car and gone the equivalent of almost three times round the world in it, and so it was time to move on.
