Things I’ve learned since moving out of London #02
The distant sound of the occasional passing Eurostar train is far preferable to the all too regular and alarming sound of planes beginning their approach to Heathrow.
Obviously, with double-glazing I barely hear the trains either, but when out and about the gentle woosh is quite pleasant. In London you get used to the very unnatural sound of constant planes, but since moving down here I haven’t actually seen one.
When waiting at the station it’s a whole different ball game. The Eurostar trains are like a tornado ripping through the place, especially if on the platform next to the tunnel they come flying out of. But it’s exciting more than annoying.
