With the publicity that surrounds the troubles and woes in the world these days it can sometimes be difficult to know what news is real and what is fake. Occasionally I get extremely fed up with it all and that’s when I take time out from watching and listening to ‘serious’ stuff, coming back to life by moving aimlessly around the web looking for a bit of light relief – and ‘that’s’ when I discover little gems that keep me from wondering ” are we all going bonkers and the end of the world is nigh”
This little video is doing the rounds again on social media.
I will unashamedly say it is just a ‘joy to watch’ and can’t keep the smile off my face as I do so.
Train travel is part of my makeup- 90% of the males on my father’s paternal line worked ‘on the railways’ in Northern Ireland. My grandad (who I never knew, he being gone before I arrived) worked his way up from a general railway worker (aka labourer) through Fireman to Engine Driver. I do so love train travel – but sadly (unlike Madeline) I don’t have a record of my first ride 😔
Just watch and enjoy – and smile 😎😊
Such a cutie. A child’s wonder and delight is always uplifting to our souls. It reminds us to appreciate all the beauty that still exists in this world. If only we choose to look for it
