Long haired, train driving sausage roll fan who looks for the positivity in everything. Welcome!
Just checked the weather app. Seems if you’re heading out today you should wear shorts and a scarf, take sunscreen and an umbrella and prepare for strong winds on this calm day 🤷♂️

Here’s a thought 🤔 If Rev Awdry had started writing the Thomas the Tank Engine series today, 80 years later, would Sodor still have been using steam engines? Or more modern traction? 🤷♂️

Thank crunchie for the good staff who work painful hours to get the Co-Op open so that wombles like me who leave their mugs of tea behind can get a replacement even at 6am 😊

I’ve just got up off the floor after laughing at an AI drawing of a tiny shunter. It was the lack of wheels on one side that got me 😂

This is Percy. He really wants you to go out today and vote. He doesn’t mind who you vote for, he just wants to know you had your say. Don’t make Percy sad 😢 Get out and vote 🙂

Apparently the “tow rope” I keep in my car is a bit overkill. But what if we meet a broken down train while we’re out and about?! 🤷♂️

I’ve been getting milk delivered for 4 years now so you’d think I’d have started remembering and stopped going out the front door and kicking all the bottles over by now 🤦♂️ Ho hum, here’s a fabulous looking train!

The railway gods have been watching over me this week 🤔 A few days ago the train in front of mine was sadly involved in a fatality and then last night a tree fell onto the tracks moments after I passed it! Feeling very grateful right now 😊

I’m miffed I missed World Book Day apparently. I was going to dress as the Train Driver’s Rulebook 🤔 I’d just need to wear something very heavy, be awkward to move about and keep randomly getting changed every few hours 😇
