- A lady reading The Highway Code and sighing heavily.
- Two work colleagues, heads bent together over an open lever-arch file, looking up at each other shyly when their hands accidentally brushed together.
- Two elderly trainspotters, with notebooks and cameras on their laps, loudly discussing the points system at Willesden Junction.
- A young lady, with a cascade of spectacularly curly blonde hair, sitting very still and poised in a corner seat.
- Two Japanese teenagers, with matching spiky rubber covers on their iPhones, sitting on the floor of the carriage and chatting quietly.
- A young man wearing a trilby hat at a jaunty angle and carrying a jute shopping bag with House of Commons printed on the side.

This post is for Tracy and Kristina, who shared a glorious day out with me at Kew, and who liked Monday's post so much.


Nancy, these observational posts of yours are fantastic. They really inspire me, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love these posts too. I have a perfect mental picture of them all!
ReplyDeleteOh I love these posts too... and there I was wondering if The Highway Code was some dramatic novel, ha!
ReplyDeleteOh good - another! I love these so much. Think they need to become a regular institution.
ReplyDeleteThese posts are so lovely - I think I have seen all these people somewhere or other!
