We go to our dear friends’ daughter’s Bat Mitzvah

the Jewish coming of age ceremony that happens when a child transitions into religious adulthood.

.

This requires a 4-hour-each-way train journey

(for us to attend, not the Bat Mitzvah ceremony itself)

which is not something we’ve done for a while

and of course we are stuck in Euston

for an hour

in 30° heat

eating Burger King.
