I think about this episode a lot when I'm in danger of being snowed under by details, dolts, or doldrums! I think I would have gotten off the train the first time it stopped there. So it's my mental "escape hatch". I just close my eyes and hear the conductor calling: "Willoughby! Next stop Willoughby!"
I like that. "Willoughby."

I think I'll use that as my mantra when stuck in the middle of a house full of relatives and there is no escape.

"Willoughby."
"Willoughby! Next stop Willoughby!"

I may get a few strange looks, but who cares? I'll have my eyes closed.

I'm hoping it just remains a mental escape for you, and never has to become a real one.

I went "to Google" you a nice image of Willoughby. I found many. And she's rather attractive. No wonder that's what you dream of, little chicky.

Good choice. We'll start off at the brewery and end with cocktails at Frank and Tony's.

Ok!



Currently I am helping this other train with some connections.

The train to Willoughby will be arriving at the platform in a little while!

I'll have tickets for two, my hubby is coming with.

I really wish that there were the goodies available like computers, internet etc., when I was very much younger. Stuck for a recipe, go on the 'net. A
question about history, archaeology, prose, religion, humour, medical advice, watch a movie, use Skype to make a 'phone call, keep in touch with overseas friends and a plethora of other activities are all available. So much fun and knowledge, literally at ones fingertips.

The only downside is the fact that some people abuse the priviledge.

But, yes I wish that I had had a computer when I was younger.

Cheers.
