First of all, Priya, what a gorgeous, beautifully-told story. Such a lovely combination of childhood memories - so amazing to imagine the part the railway played in shaping thoughts and ideas - and travelogue/adventure. I took the kindness of strangers as the heart of the tale … perhaps that’s what I always seek out? Also, a reinforcement … JoJo and I are ‘planning’ our autumn rail travels. We are super keen to ‘let it all unfold’ … that’s a big shift for us, to let go of plans and the need for certainty, to encourage the unexpected by removing guide rails and barriers. I’m sure I’ll write about that … way more likely that I will having read this piece. Have a fab week. Barrie

Thank you for sharing. A lovely story. I have never had that exact experience but metaphorically I certainly have. There is always a way through these difficult situations in life. I hope I have learned not to panic but instead you trust that I will find my way.
