Northern Line - Hampstead to Bank

• Five pairs of Converse plimsolls - blue, lilac, cream, green and grey.
• A family with lilting Geordie accents, hauling enormous suitcases off the train at Kings Cross.
• Many prettily wrapped bunches of Mothering Sunday flowers - always in the arms of young men or middle-aged ladies.
• Grandparents saying goodbye to grandchildren who were immersed in their books.
• Two pairs of sunglasses perched on top of heads.
• A young man wearing swimming trunks and a denim jacket.  Couldn't help but stare in appreciation curiosity.
• A pretty teenager with four bright felt flowers in her hair.
• A man reading a Japanese e-book on a Kindle.
