Stan 

I trust that you are okay and are missing me like mad

How is Lincoln 

It is a splendid city 

Thank you for lending me your railway book 

Which is a fascinating read

There is a photograph inside that I really relate to 

It was taken on the 12th of July 1931

At the Golf Links Halt 

On the Rye and Camber Tramway 

And shows a young woman 

Only four days shy of her wedding

Waiting patiently for a train 

My researches indicate that her name was Kathleen Goose 

Who was about to marry Henry Casserley the famous railway photographer 

It is calm almost serene photograph 

She is sitting on a wooden bench 

Next to a corrugated iron station 

This lonely station is surrounded by low fields 

With equally sparse telegraph poles 

Accompanying the single track quietly into the distance 

One can almost feel the gentle heat of that summer’s day 

This seems to be a land of plenty 

But within a decade war had returned 

And the tramway was requisitioned by the military in 1939

It never reopened although the station building still survives 

Perhaps on a hot day next summer 

We can walk to this remote station which is not far from Rye 

So that you might photograph me there 

As the wife of the photographer

 Was caught all those years ago 

Times passes 

Time remain still

Time is captured

Time is released 

I am missing you greatly and I know that you are missing me 

It is raining here again and the winds are quite insolent 

Is it raining in Lincoln or are you too busy to notice 

My gentle naughty but busy boy 

Do ring me tonight and tell me about your day 

I look forward to our future adventures
