It’s funny how our ideas of neighbourhood expands in proportion to distance travelled.
In the new year, I will have to take my mother-in-law to Istanbul. So I’ve been saying, “While I’m in the neighbourhood, I might visit our place.”
But of course Inverness and Plymouth are closer together than our place is to Istanbul.
It’s basically saying, well, we’re travelling 3000km already, so what’s another thousand? Tempting, but I suspect it will be a weekend return. Six hours watching films in the air.
