Once we got there we’d have all our little picnic bits ready and enjoy the sunshine and then afterwards move onto somewhere else. Lovely memories

...awwwww, so lovely and your lovely nan, eh.....creating such memories for you...my dad used to always say it was his investment in memories, with special times...days out/holidays etc, you know...I have lots of family who live in parts of London and travelling on the Tube when I visited as a child...?...always felt like being on a magical carpet or something...just all of the names of the stations we passed through but never got off at those places...like Barking for instance..?...I would think, oh this is Barking, I’ll be barking now...and does the castle really have an elephant in, maybe it has a whole family of elephants and elephant servants etc...it just all felt very glamorous and grown up as well...and even just being on the platform, as you say, Dogeatdog...mostly we would walk everywhere back home so being on a train platform was really quite magical as well...
