I'm on a train heading over to Droitwich. It's a nicer way to travel and I only have to pay one fare. It's always nice to watch the countryside go by at this time of year. There's fruit ripe for the picking on trees. There's cows and sheep going about their daily lives. And occasionally; just occasionally; you can see the lives of other people as you cross bridges and pass through towns. There's Saturday football matches being played. Cars travelling alongside busy roads. People's possessions that they have carefully stowed away in their back gardens. Fancy trimmed hedges, security systems on the gates of fancy houses; even a poster praising the Lord Jesus Christ. And other people making their own journey as the train passes through the station. There's car doors in motion as people meet and greet each other for pre-arranged lifts. Shopping bags, pushchairs and newspapers all showing just what they've been up to. It's just great for people watching.
