Today some strangers on a train did me a kindness.
I’d gone to see a friend and we had walked 10 miles, in addition to the 2 I’d walked to see him. I’d not slept well last night, and feeling a little weary on the train home, I’d fallen asleep.
The people who had sat opposite me noticed I’d not woken when the train terminated, as they waited for their onward train on the same platform. They told the guard to wake me so I would not find myself on the same train heading back the way we had come!
…I woke to find the train filling up with people heading towards Brighton. And got off in the nick of time. (It had terminated at my stop.)
I thanked both the guard and the kind strangers, and said I hoped they got their bag back, because earlier in the journey I had heard them on the phone talking to a restaurant where they had left their bag behind.
I hope things worked out well for them 🙏
…It was good to see my friend. And lovely to chat as we walked along the West Sussex coast, passing egrets, and seeing the Selsea headland in the distance that I can see in the other direction from where I live.
The kind of day I should do more of
