First Train Home - Imogen Heap



I went to see Imogen Heap in Liverpool during her England tour last year, with my boyfriend @mrbenopolis. She is absolutely amazing, and incredibly talented. Continuing my theme of songs related to trains, I hope you enjoy First Train Home. It is her first single from the album Ellipse.

The Roast-ess with the mostest?

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, as the saying goes. But on my train journey on this foggy Monday morning, I over heard two women that took this to the extreme....


Pardon me boys, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

 
This song came on my shuffle this morning, it always makes me smile and reminds me of dancing with my gorgeous young cousins, my muma (@mumaclarkesays on twitter) and my nana at my 21st Vintage Tea Birthday Party. 
Enjoy!

Is it a cloud?! NO! Is it fog?! NO! Its chemical spray!!....Wait…What?


This mornings commute started out pleasantly, I had a seat opposite a cute old couple heading off on holiday, knowing they wouldn’t be disturbing me before my stop, I shuffled into a comfy position, closed my eyes and proceeded to have a much needed doze. The carriage chatter was just a quiet hum of conversation, comforting and easy to block out….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

“OH MY GOD I DON’T BELIEVE IT, LOOK AT THAT”

Armistice Day



There is a crowd of people at the station, waiting to wave the troops goodbye. The young soldier desperately lean out of windows;  delaying saying that final goodbye to loved ones; family; friends. Children are lifted up to kiss their fathers; their little rosy faces confused by the raw emotion hanging in the air. A few women try standing on something or are held up by the soldiers in the windows; talking close, whispering sweet nothings before kissing husbands and boyfriends for what might be the last time.
