The Railway Line

In the garden a few days ago and I realise that the sound I hear every now and again is the train in the near distance, on the Brighton to London line. Instantly it awakens memories of childhood, and I wonder if this is another reason why this home feels so very much like Home! Calculating the distance and yes, it's about the same as the railway line (Cardiff to London) from the home that I was brought up in, Wilson Street, Splott. Regular tum-te-tums... was it a steam line then? Another edge to the home experience, another boundary defining my bioregion. Wow...
