It’s not the most fabulous Christmas this year, but AI is helping me to try

Four photos of wonderful railway architecture

It’s a shame that there are no longer class 43 locos running timetabled services in England.
BUT…
They were past their working lives, unsafe and environmentally unfriendly.
However we re lucky to have such an amazing heritage rail network, so this testament to British engineering can be celebrated

Absolutely heartbroken to hear that our local “station cat” Nala has passed away aged just 6. Nala was a well known and loved character around Stevenage. He even turned the Christmas lights on once. He will be so missed

Another day with the air ambulance behind my house, and a “serious incident” closing the ECML.

My heart breaks every time. I wish we as a society could do more

Sending love to anyone who needs it

I love a mansplainer. According to Ol’ Mike here, the county I grew up in, doesn’t exist these days!! What do we reckon @hullhistorynerd.bsky.social @yorkswoldsweather.bsky.social @hullimages.bsky.social - anyone suffering an existential crisis of identity?

Nice little present on my doorstep to cheer up this autumnal Friday

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?
October 26, 2025 at 5:54 PM
It’s a sign…

I am currently obsessed with packing cubes

I will be taking no further questions at this time
