Down the street from the Train Station. Joy and I saw the gates go down
and, like in our childhoods, we ran up to the gates to wave to the train.
We had forgotten that not only do the Puffing Billies not stop there
anymore, but that diesel trains just whiz by. We had a good laugh at
ourselves acting like bairns and being disappointed we couldn’t wave to
the passengers in the train. But we had our sandwiches, tea, and ice cream
at Visocchi’s to console ourselves – and we also enjoyed watching the
heads turn as my beautiful Adriana walked through the café. Made us almost
wish we were eighteen again, too.

Little girls and mummies and granddads and crumbs and seabirds are still
part of Ferry life.
