Hello and welcome to today's independent travel.

The last week, Sun Quarter, it's Friday the 14th of November.

I spent Wednesday morning at Stansted Airport looking at the new Ryanair plan

for having digital only boarding classes.

In order to be able to get into departures, I had to buy tickets,

so I bought a £15 tickets to Bardem. The plane was early. I got through passport control

in no time. Got out, there are a couple of people getting into a taxi going to the station. I shared

with them. I then found that the train I needed for Kat was actually running three minutes late and I caught it with 10 seconds to spend. Sometimes things just work out like that. Then I went to Hyerbrook. It's a city I wanted to visit because it's the European Green Capital in 2027. I belonged to the tourist office. So I had a chat with them.

And they said, well, of course, you could go to the half and march come the Haven Market Tower.

We have the key.

Yes, they have the key to a proper medieval tower with an incredible number of stairs,

which I'm just walking down, actually.

And it is self-service tourism.

I have encountered the old church in the middle of the countryside

where somebody at number 17 has the key,

and you can go and borrow it.

But here, and by the way, I'm in the lovely little kind of antechamber here,

a couple of levels above the city where they've got beautiful old photographs.

Nobody else around, of course.

And rather than having somebody in attendance, they just think, well, why don't we just

people, let themselves in?

And so, that's what happened.
