I always read the Family section of the Saturday Grauniad, but I don’t know why, as it’s mostly about children. I always get something out of it, though. This week’s section’s feature story is of three couples who met on trains. You might think this is a bit dull, but, believe me, the stories are heartwarming at a time when hearts need to be warmed.

my parents met on a train, from London to Glasgow. It was wartime, the train was crowded, my mum sat on what turned out to be my dad’s suitcase.
