It's like the Trutnov to Sędisław line won't take IR within Czechia but will in Poland. They wanted me to pay in cash but I persuaded them to take a card for the 2 euro equivalent fare.
I've started a new long distance walk! This one I made up myself, following the A272, a road familiar from my schooldays. Here is the rather unglamorous start, in Stockbridge

A contrast in symbolism: turning 180 degrees round you can just see the EU headquarters. Almost trying to hide away...

My faithful ink bottle has seen me through 4 terms and 3 exams, but is now getting weak
Ah yes, good old services exports. Bringing home the bacon since at least 1950...
