It was the big wind that came before the train,the hustle and bustle of getting 57 pupils on the same train and generally the whole atmosphere. When I took my goddaughter to London a few years ago, she could have stayed on the underground the whole day and be perfectly happy (although Chitty chitty bang bang, the musical was also a big hit).Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04464946195661953578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-74686455077432302792012-12-05T06:42:03.382-08:002012-12-05T06:42:03.382-08:00Oh I really enjoyed the video.
