07:11........
"Good morning" I greeted my namesake train buddy at the car park
"Good morning to you too....... How was your holiday?" she asked
We walk together into the station hub, through the open barriers, up the steps, across the bridge, down the steps....... all the while talking about my holiday to Bangkok, Thailand
On reaching platform four we sport only one train buddy, my adopted daughter
"Good morning"
"Good morning"
We talk until the train arrives
