All uphill
Still rolling along

Well, two weeks car free and I have joyfully not had to reinsure (£180) or tax (£265). Clearly that's an annual saving.
Ms Au has used a taxi once (£17), not wanting to cycle on icy surfaces. She has also used the bus for two trips that would have been done by car (cost neutral).
Her employer is talking with her about a new role which would require her to have a car, so we will see.
I am enjoying the experience so far, and continue to use bike and trains. If it works for us in winter during rail strikes I am optimistic that it will be fine.
I'm enjoying the neighbours' curiosity - are we broke? No. Have I lost my licence? No. One kind person has offered us the loan of his car if we get stuck.
