hi peeps. I know that in the past, via the blog, i have made joking reference to Kent closing early in the evening, Sundays are very special. I also do really appreciate that I have, due to having dementia, a free bus pass which i use very very much, it is my lifeline to getting out and about. For so many reasons I am therefore glad to have the Arriva bus service in the area. Today undid so much great work.
This evening I was at a friends having been there much of the day working on 3 speeches that we are delivering between us this week about dementia awareness (this will soon become a rather sick note ha ha). Being a softie southerner I was unimpressed by the cold wind and rain today and was just leaving said friends house to brave the weather and cross to the bus stop on the other side of this 1 road. I had waited as long as I dare for the bus as did not want to be standing around outside too long so left when the bus was due in 4 minutes. With this being only about 7 minutes from the start of the drivers journey I was surprised then infuriated that it sailed by, at great speed, before i could cross the road. This would be a pain at most times but at 18.40 on a Sunday it is the last bus from here and I am now stranded over 3 hours walk from home. Expensive taxi needed and a lesson in dementia awareness for Arriva who are supposedly members of the local Dementia Action Alliance ha bloody ha!!!!
