  • Week 190 – Oct 31st – Ticket offices to be saved

    In a blog posting earlier in the year, I mentioned that I had sent an email on why the ticket offices should be saved at railway stations.

    I just read that they will for the time being, which is great news.

    Feels good to have an impact on something, well done to everyone else that sent emails into.

  • Week 189 – Oct 28th – Greenwich

    Another visit up to Greenwich as the day was reasonable.

    Hope you like the pictures.

  • Week 189 – Oct 25th – Safe guarding

    I had to login into the ECB safe guarding portal, so that my ECB safe guarding can be checked and allow be to be cleared to continue to work with children.

    Hopefully this will come back with no issues.

  • Week 188 – Oct 22nd – Rose plants

    Claire added some little ornaments to the rose tree and plants in memory of her mum.

    I can’t believe how often the rose tree as budded since we got it in April.

  • Week 188 – Oct 22nd – West Malling Farmers Market

    As the weather was reasonable today, we decided to go to the farmers market at West Malling.

    The journey was going smoothly until we reached a village and cars were everywhere. Every so often a group of cars would go pass and we would inch forward.

    Finally we found out the reason, there was some vintage event happening in this village and a steam engine was rolling into place.

    I think they should have put warnings up there would be a delays.

    Had a nice walk around the market and got some fig jam and bread.

  • Week 188 – Oct 21st – Covid 19 testing

    I received a letter today asking if I would like to help with Covid 19 testing during the winter.

    I thought why not, at least I will be able to test for free.

  • Week 188 – Oct 16th – Flying in more ways than one

    After visiting Pollhill and getting a new Father Christmas, yes I know its October.

    We went to Biggin Hill airport café for a coffee and watching the planes come and go.

  • Week 187 – Oct 15th – Battersea

    Login required to see this posting. 

  • Week 186 – Oct 8th – Christmas already

    It’s crazy, well in my opinion to be thinking of Christmas food, but this afternoon we placed our food order for Christmas day and something for New Year’s Day online with Marks and Spencer.

    This will be collected on the evening December 23rd. It has always been very well organised.

  • Week 186 – Oct 7th – 100 up

    Today I received an email from Trip Advisor, congratulating me on my 100th different location review. Didn’t realise that I had done that many.

    I have actually done more then 100, but have reviewed some locations more than once.

    Always good to give feedback, especially the locations that respond and help other users to make up there mind about visiting the location.

    Look forward to doing more reviews.
