I wanted to be a Trolley Dolly.

Looking back on my working life and due to family tradition I became a Mechanical Engineer. What I really wanted to be was a Trolley Dolley.

So what is a Trolley Dolley, think back to those days of luxury flying in the 50's and 60's with planes like the Comet and the Vickers Viscount. Then you have the beautiful air hostesses who were nicknamed trolley dollies as they move their trolleys up and down the aisles.

This is as close I could get at being a trolley Dolley today. Best viewed with the magnify button above the picture.

A great story and super pov. Fav

[Ruby]

Lovely commentary and great shot of mundane subject!

[Marilyn]

Thank you for the explaination of what a Trolly Dolly is. I had never heard the term before and was a bit confused as to why you wanted to be one since I was looking at a picture of shopping carts, lol!!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@stormi40 Thanks Marilyn, suggest Google Trolley Dolly.

[Susan Golding]

Ah well ! I'm sure you were a better mechanical engineer.! Nice shot of the trollies!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@windridge Thanks Susan, well yes being a Mechanical Engineer still got me travelling around the world.

[David]

like the "lady magpie" imposed over the trolley, nicely done

[Gayanne Campbell]

Fantastic! Love the lines leading one down the trolley line. Very clever!

[Khawbecker]

You've made the mundane beautiful. Excellent perspective.

[Alice Burghart]

Love the pattern on this one. Great shot.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@killeen @zenna @khawbecker @libertylady Thank you all, I wondered how this would come out, and David that was just the right spot on the trolley.

[virtualbrownie]

You would have been wasted as a trolley dolly - great shot, lovely lines

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@virtualbrownie Oh thanks, glad I didn't do it now.

[Michelle]

Interesting POV!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@grapefruit Thank you Michelle, did my shopping afterwards.

[Phil Cameron]

looks like your name is on a trolley there, we have the Comet hotel by us as they were built by British Aerospace and were on the old factory airfield site Hatfield

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely pov and lines.fav!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@philcameron59 @ziggy77 Thank you both for the comments and for the FAV, appreciated.

[Lin]

Really love your pov - and I thought it was really fun that your name looked like it was part of the shopping cart!

[Kim]

Well you made it, if in name only! Great repetition and lines. Like how your framing is color-coordinated.

[Kathie]

Neat shot and story. Ever thought of a 2nd career. Haha

[Claire]

You make me laugh so much, great pov, how many curious looks did you get?

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@linnypinny @genealogygenie @kathiecb @claireuk Thank you for your comments and a couple of questions. Yes I put my signature there on purpose, 2nd career Kathie, I think they would need a very powerful plane to get me off the air. Claire, I did have a few looks and had to keep moving away to let people put there trolleys back.

[carol white]

Great POV,love the repeating lines!!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@carolmw Thanks Carol, makes you go dizzy if you stare at it.

[Connie]

Never heard the expression Trolley Dolly before...learned something new from you again TODAY! The lines leading the eye down the rows of the carts is very nice! And see you have placed your signature on one of the carts.
