I always felt strange even on the old buses sitting further down in the bus; same feeling for upstairs. I suppose it's still there, since I always stand at the bar unless I'm with a girl. Needless to say the Conductress was very nice, even in serge trousers, which considering it was October and raining was sensible, and she looked warm. Leaving home, Luv. Joining up. Bit young aren't you. I love freckles in a blond. Put them with blue eyes, and I have just fell off this page. What's your first port of call then. Shepherd's Bush, please. Where are going from there. Paddington. Well just watch your luggage, while you there. She reeled me off a ticket, and went back to her cubby-hole by the open deck. I got off the bus, opposite the green, and walked up to the station. The Central line would go direct to Paddington. Needless to say, I managed to get to Paddington. I always managed to get to places. It just seems to take me a bit longer. British Rail trains are funny. I've always felt at home in them, but the old ones have gone now, for very good reasons, since these days women aren't safe in them. I have a passion for the old mouldy, smelly, blind dangling compartments. Nowadays it is all modern, but in those days, even second class could pretend it was first class, and pull the blinds down. There was this lovely blond girl who came into the carriage. Her eyes were blue, the buttons on the top of her dress were undone, and I stared. Those eyes were lovely; full of fun; laughing; she made you feel you were King, and the smile. It rose from dimples and freckles to her eyes, which took you in and caressed you. One of these days, I am going to know what to do in these circumstances. Her voice was West Country, and her laughter at me was genuine and friendly. I was dumb struck with nothing to say. Where are you from she said, her voice softly caressing. Yondon I mumbled. Yondon, she laughed. I don't know that. I've been to London, but where is Yondon. "I was born in Shepherd's Bush". Didn't the Shepherd like you then, she said. |

An enjoyable and fascinating read. I enjoy the employ of conversational snippets in my own stuff, and you did manage to bring me into another realm as I read. Enjoyed, Bodger.  |

JamesMichael Fun to read...James Thanks James serenity blaze ------------------------------------- An enjoyable and fascinating read. I enjoy the employ of conversational snippets in my own stuff, and you did manage to bring me into another realm as I read. Enjoyed, Bodger. thanks serenity It was an old realm and I suppose it had it's good bits and bad bits. Our expectations weren't high and in ways, it was a safer life except when we decided to kill each other we plan to take out continents. Midnitesun -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I always managed to get to places. It just seems to take me a bit longer" Hey, that's my old line! LOL what an enjoyable read! am keeping this conversational gem. That's lovely. Thanks very much. I always feel that people dont look at how relationships can evolve and who is the dominant party and at what point in time and when things change why when and how Bodger |

It is story poetry like this that reminds me of my desire to travel and feel different green grasses swell under my feet... to hear dialogue that my brain is not familiar with and quickly try to disseminate into understanding... yes, that is another reason why I enjoy reading you. |

smiling over here, I don't know what else to say to express my amusement. If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |
