It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris
There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm.
And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight

Open the Door,
by William Soutar.
Open the door for the auld year
It is the pairtin-time:
Open the door for the new year
And lat the bairn win hame.
Bundle your winter’d joy and grief
On the back o’ the year that’s düne:
Open your hert for the new life
And lat the bairn come in.

SO PLEASED my children's audio story 'A Little Light' is now @bbcsounds.bsky.social ahead of Chanukah. Produced by Gill Davies, commissioned by @claireogalla.bsky.social, the story explores religious legacies, togetherness, & how, sometimes, we need less than we think we do. New link in my bio.
