Missed Trains

On a family trip to England, we took a day train trip to Dover. After walking around to the beautiful sights, we made our way back to the train station only to find the train pulling away.

We spotted a pub down the street and decided to kill the hour there. My family sat down and I looked over to the corner of the room to see an adorable old man sitting by himself with a Guinness. I was so taken with this scene. I had to immortalize him in a piece, so twelve years later, he is fondly known to us as Allistair in “Missed Trains.”
