Trains in UK

Well after today - I keep getting more and more disappointed with the train services in the UK.  Today I went to Aldershot to walk around the area and get a feel for if I really wanted to live there.  First of all - it took me about 40 minutes to get from a city that is literally 4 miles away from Aldershot.  This is when the train was running on time.  On the way back I sat on the layover stop for over an hour waiting for a train.  Thus total journey back to Farn was over 1 hr 20 minutes.  I could of walked 4 miles in less time!

Bloody Hell!

Not sure how I feel about Aldershot.  The city seems to be a little 'run-down' or 'lower class citizens' that live there.  Nothing against anyone who lives there - but I just want to ensure that myself being single and alone here is SAFE!  The city actually used to be an old Military Base which I found rather interesting.  Although I still cherish the 1 bedroom stable house that I found on Friday.  Gosh I just don't know what to do!!  I still really like Guildford though too and am now wondering if I would feel safer there.  Guildford has a train with no layovers straight to Aldershot. Providing it's on time - total train time should be no more then 20 minutes.  This is doable I suppose!  I need to talk to co-workers tomorrow so that I can make a decision.

Now that I was sitting outside for over an hour waiting for a train my toes and fingers can hardly warm up.  It's bloody cold outside probably just above freezing, cold, wet, and rainy!  EWW!  I just want to snuggle up and take a nap -- opps cannot do that because I need to adjust to time zone still.

Tomorrow is the first day at the office!
This place is close to where I'm considering living.....maybe possible reason not to live here
 Sign - Welcome to Aldershot (very cute)
 Aldershot has a nice church!
