Today should have been my Mum’s 80th Birthday…
This coming Sunday (12 April 2025), marks the first anniversary of her passing…
My head, has still not even begun to process the fact, I will never see or hear her again…
Heart breaking news. My Mum passed away on Saturday 12 April 2025
I’ve been putting off telling people about this. Since the more people I tell, the more real it is… Up till this post, only my family and some people at work had been told…
On Saturday 12 April 2025, my Mum passed away…
So right now, I am a mess to say the least. Still been at work like normal. Just need to keep myself busy…
It’s not going to really hit me, till I go up to Killearn and not get my normal welcome home from my Mum…

Used the new Lincoln LNER Azuma service!
Just used the new Lincoln LNER Azuma service for the very first time, along with my friend Mark T. Got to say, I really did like it! I can see, myself using it a lot more in the future. Even more so, when the weekend service service, starts in December.
