May 24 cont...
I knew the Train was about to leave so I ran to the Station. For the first time since I have been here (apart from ignorance of Platform 1 and Tokushima Station) I missed the train.
I had 20 minutes until the next one, so I wandered back up the street looking for Udon. No luck.
I went into the Café where Yahiro San and I shared our last coffee and cake together but was a little confused at what was available. The Café lady was obviously busy and I was aware that my time was limited so I said Arigato, Sumimasen and left again.
At the Station, I went to the bathroom then as I came out, the lady from the Café frantically rushed up to me, encouraging me to come back. I explained to her that I didn’t have time now but thank you anyway. She finally understood and said good bye to me. I got my ticket, went over to my Platform and sat down to wait.
I was doing something on my mobile phone when I became aware of someone approaching me. I looked up to see the lady from the Café! She had gone back and returned with the most heavenly cobs of hot buttered corn.
For the thousandth time, I was speechless with appreciation and after she had gone, I had to remind myself to breathe between each mouthful.
