But it has a story......
Early start after late night....up at 5.45 to get the train at 6.38am.
That's a bit early for a Saturday!
The train arrives with 6 carriages but only two go north ..
the very caring guard/ticket collector walked right down to me to make sure I got on the front coach...even picked up my bag and carried it to the carriage door!😊
And he was so friendly and simply pleasant ....and put a smiley face on my ticket instead of a scribbley signature!
Three good things
1. Got to Mum's before 10am. 8 minutes from train to bus was just enough time.
2. Coffee treat and Tesco shop with Mum and her friend.
3. Big snow job done....mum's freezer in outhouse at back door hadn't been closed properly so everything very white. But I got it all ship shape as quickly as possible so no harm done!
Makes a change to hear of good train reports, so used to all the cancelled trains & struggles for commuters these days, What a lovely guy! Think he’s in the nicest part of the country, he must be chilled out! Freezer clean8ng ou5 is a horrid job, mine needs doing before Christmas! Mum will have lots more space too so easier to see what she has in there!
How wonderful to have a kind train conductor! I wrote a good review for a lovely clerk at the Post Office the other day, she did everything right and with a smile on her face! How fortunate for you that the weather was cold enough to keep the food frozen even with the door open!
I love the smiley on the ticket! So nice when you have a good rail story, as @happypat said. I have some terrible tales of bad experiences of my own the past couple of years, so this is delightful to read. Well done on the freezer too!

Inver is the Gaelic for 'mouth of' as in river ...where it reaches the sea, or another river. So Inverness is the mouth of the River Ness, and Inverurie is where the Urie River meets the larger River Don. Lots of Inver....places in Scotland and not surprised to see them in New Zealand which has so many Scottish connections. Dunedin is the Gaelic word for Edinburgh. 😄
