A Classic
This is the night mail crossing the border,
Bringing the cheque and the postal order...
...And none will hear the postman's knock,
Without a quickening of the heart,
For who can bear to feel himself forgotten
The Night Mail- WH Auden
A touristy visit to the Riverside Transport museum prompted a return to these words from the classic documentary from 1936 (I think). I wanted to use a photograph of the first car I remembered-a Triumph Mayflower- but it was too far up a wall to be of any use. Truthfully it looked like a Dinky toy. Pleased to see the place was busy.
