Never ceases to amaze and frustrate me that, despite having to pay for parking, airfares, a bag, and a hire car to get to the destination, flying to Scotland is still less than half the price of train tickets

Can’t wait to be back Up North for a big celebration next year

Don’t just watch this because I’m in it. Watch it because it offers hope. Connecting communities is the ethos of our 200 year old railway system.

This is an awesome video
There’s diesel engines, there’s heritage railways, there’s Rebecca, There’s me, there’s Geoff, there’s a councillor called Chris.
But most importantly, there’s a vision. A project that could connect communities and improve lives, which is what the railways are all about.
5pm today..... Can I do what!!??

Recently, I saw a news story where someone with my maiden surname had discovered some interesting genealogy. And by the universal rule of people with unusual surnames all being related….

IM A DESCENDANT OF THREE MEMBERS OF THE GUNPOWDER PLOT

Happy bonfire night and all that 🎆🎇

I absolutely adore these markers on crossroads in the East Neuk of Fife. Can anyone give me an estimate to their age?

It’s a sign…

I am currently obsessed with packing cubes

I will be taking no further questions at this time

Wandering through the delightful High Street of Stevenage Old Town… and was met by this… a taxidermy rat in the middle of the pavement

Happy Halloween I guess

First weekend after three weeks of Covid and post-viral fatigue. Time to do some things, see family etc…

Or, have a huge sciatica flare up, and spend the weekend in agony…

It’s a total joke. Have a train

So yesterday, for the first time in my life, I had some professional photos taken. And of course… I had to wear the moquette dress in some of them

I’m so lucky to have met so many friends in the railway community, despite it being a passion for me and not a career. And I love the stories I get to tell as a result.
Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

It’s not even 8am and I’ve already used the term “New Age Gricers” more than once.

Enjoy a train

I’ve had Covid for a week now. Whilst I’m over the worst the residual fatigue with this “Stratus” variant is tough. Meant to be in Cornwall eating all my favourite things. Instead I’m sulking in Stevenage.

Enjoy a train. Yes I’m so fed up I’m sharing a Pacer. I hate Pacers

For the scientifically minded amongst you…

If you’ve lost your sense of smell, does vapour rub stop working? Or do the active ingredients keep on working even if you can’t smell it?

Yes… I’ve got COVID and this stuff matters, how very 2020 of me

Have a train
