Worcester Park, Surrey (6385)
It's nearly 9pm and the train is about to arrive.
Danny has driven us to Worcester Park station, the next station up from Stoneleigh.
On the journey back to London I was thinking and talking with Jude about the experience of looking at our family photographs; memories being prompted, fascinating pieces of new information coming out through conversation, and the way we all get involved by talking through these old photographs. But the family albums, the folders and envelopes of photographs and paraphernalia are eventually put away until the next time we visit, which may be months away. The conversation we've had, the connections we've made, and the information we've gathered fade away. As the train draws into Waterloo station I talk with Jude about using this 'moblogging/blogging/' environment as a place to have a 'family album', for these old photographs. These pictures from a lifetime seem to take on much more significance now, and it would be fascinating to use this (TA) space to construct a new form of family album. I'll start one this week and see if we can make something of it.
