    I am fairly happy with mine. It varies across the week, since I work at a number of different sites each week. Shortest is 10 mins, longest 40 mins.

    I live rurally, the sites are all rural and the drive takes me through some beautiful (officially beautiful: designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) countryside: woodland, heath, farms and villages. It is enjoyable no matter what the season.

    I don’t think that hate anything about it. Getting stuck behind tractors is fairly common and is a bit of a slog sometimes, but it goes with the territory.

    Sometimes I will have a podcast on (Philosophise This, In Our Time, Thinking Allowed etc) other times I am happy without.

    Obviously it is driving. Usually just me in a car and there are all the pollution issues around that. The nature of the sites means that it is unlikely that there is going to be public transport at anything like the appropriate times anytime in the foreseeable future - there certainly isn’t now. I could, sometimes, cycle to the closest one. But both the public transport and cycling options then make if difficult if and when I am called to one of the other sites during the day - which doesn’t happen every day, but is unpredictable.
