Trapped on a non-stop train to Heidelberg (Rousse)
I jumped on the train to accompany MM – for just a short while – on her long journey east across Europe. The plan was for me to accompany her as far the next stop, leave the carriage, cross platforms, … Continue reading

Fun and games with trains (Rousse)
I needed to reach Liverpool by 13:15 for a meeting. At 12:30 I jumped on the first train that I saw at Edinburgh’s Waverley Station, assuming that it was a London service that called at Leeds. I was right in … Continue reading

Frail old lady on the wrong train (Rousse)
I’d mixed up the two rail tickets. I had that of mother, and she mine. The main consequence of this was that a frail old lady was about to board the ‘wrong’ train, and there was no way that I … Continue reading

London to Oxford and Oxford to Edinburgh by train (Rousse)

Displaying a nipple and swimming with baby dolphins in lockdown (Rousse)
Campus was open again. I was there once more attending lectures, and they were even measuring the water levels in the swimming pool. On most days I sat next to my primary school ‘friend’ ST, delighted that I was admitted … Continue reading
Pandemic postpones Paris Olympics (Rousse)
The other passengers managed to haul me into the carriage when I took the stupid risk of ignoring the warning light and attempted to jump in at the very last moment. Now I could be certain that I would arrive … Continue reading

Commercial romance and raw beef (Belle)
I was travelling home from Europe on a train. A young man seated behind me slipped his navy track-suited arm around my shoulders. Romance! Later, he asked me for money to buy weed, but said he wouldn’t necessarily ask me … Continue reading
