During the recent spell of very hot weather<\/p>\n
I found myself walking in the Wiltshire countryside<\/p>\n
It was almost musical<\/p>\n
The hot winds were dancing with the golden wheatfields<\/p>\n
But the distant trees remained still<\/p>\n
That was one of the many mysteries I faced that day<\/p>\n
However I was required elsewhere<\/p>\n
I am always required elsewhere<\/p>\n
So I made my way back to Bedwyn<\/p>\n
My intention was to catch a train<\/p>\n
But there were no trains due to a pigeon exploding somewhere on the network<\/p>\n
I waited and waited but there were none<\/p>\n
So I decided to walk to my home town<\/p>\n
But before setting out I rested for a while on the platform on Bedwyn Railway Station<\/p>\n
I chose a shady spot and soon stretched out and fell asleep like a gentleman of the road<\/p>\n
My slumbers were rudely interrupted an hour later when an express train roared through the station<\/p>\n
It alarmed me and I awoke with a start<\/p>\n
When I regained my senses I could see that only express trains would pass by<\/p>\n
And that lesser trains would not call at this rural outpost for some hours<\/p>\n
So I started my journey and within two hours I was back in my home town<\/p>\n
It was only then that I realised that I had left my copy of the Pilgrims Progress on the lonely platform at Bedwyn<\/p>\n
I made enquiries about its return but it was reported that the angels had taken it<\/p>\n
As they required a book to read during their off-duty hours<\/p>\n
