Old Lady Card

I have the card. I ordered it on-line I'm not yet an old lady but I'm prepared. It's quite exciting.

There's more than a week till I can use the card. I have to wait until my birthday. But I've been visiting websites and plotting far more journeys than I'll have time to make. I haven't got so far as booking yet, but it's good to dream.

It's a shame about the "senior" tag. I don't like that word. It's thinly metallic and conveys nothing in particular. I much prefer "old lady," which is odd. I've always denied being a lady, but the word so much sounds better with "old" in front of it. Not so respectable and a lot more fun. On fencing nights I shall picture myself as Miss Marple with a sword.

I'll use my old lady railcard for journeys to work but I look forward to travelling for pleasure too.
