Happy travellers

It has rained all day today and guess what lies ahead for the next week. My friend, Crinny, is in Quebec at present and it is raining there too. However, she sent me a link to this clip to cheer me. Travellers in the railway station in Antwerp had their day brightened when a group of 200 dancers gave this apparently impromptu performance. I wonder if British Rail will take up the idea?

    m. it's raining torrents here in sunny Florida -- thunder and lightning too. We might even get some hail or tornadoes.

    I love these T-mobile adverts. This is a link to the Liverpool St station version

    It's hammering it down here as well. So much for the staycation...

    e,
    Perhaps we'll all float away in the floods and meet up in the middle of the ocean. I am starting to collect wood for an ark, just in case!

    Thanks for the link, I hadn't realised these were T-mobile ads. I don't watch much commercial TV.

    This is what happens when it rains.

    Just wonderful, M. Yes, I love those dancing ads too. (Ditto the closing sequence of Slumdog Millionarire, which was shot at Chhatrapati Shivaji terminus in Mumbai.) Always guaranteed to uplift the spirits. Raining here in the Chilterns too; the Dear Daughter is convinced that I brought the weather with me from Exmoor. But I can now point out to her that it appears to be raining all around the world.

    D, I hope the soggy weather ends for all of us very soon. I hope you are managing to explore lots of new walks with the Edinburgh Boy.

    This isn't a t-mobile advert, though it may well have been inspired by one. It's an ad for a talent show on Flemish TV where they were trying to find a Maria for a new production of The Sound of Music. I believe the BBC did the same "search for Maria" a few years ago.

    Thank you for that information, Breussel. What an original way to hold an audition! I think the BBC version was far more conventional but with the public able to influence the decision by telephone voting.
