Walking towards work
[](http://www.onemanandhisblog.com/Adur Ferry Bridge.jpg) A glorious morning. Not because of the weather — it’s foggy and cold — but because I got to walk to the station for the first time in over a year. Yes, the Adur Ferry Bridge [http://m.adur-worthing.gov.uk/shoreham-footbridge/index.
