2. Chesterfield is home to a bakery selling giant croissants so is therefore fantastic 🥐
3. Sheffield has many model train shops which is fantastic 🙂

I took the platform clock trying to spell the word ‘beef’ as a hint that I should go and eat some beef 🤔
Couldn’t find any of that but I thought pork is similar and that’s in sausage rolls so I had one of them instead 😇

Went to leave for work this morning and noticed the neighbours wheelie bin in the middle of the road.
As I approached it the wind blew it down the road so I gave chase shouting “FENTON!”
I’d just like to apologise to any of my neighbours I woke 😇

My advice for preparing to leave the house this morning? If you can still move your arms you don’t have enough layers on 🥶

This time yesterday I was on my way to the North Pole! Which, thanks to the magic of the Polar Express, is less than an hour from Norfolk!
An epic trip, I still have gooseberrybumps from it! 😊

I have a huge list of jobs to do today to get the house ready for festivities so obviously the first one I’ve picked is to build a model railway to go under the tree 😇
Oh wait that reminds me 🤔 I need to get a tree…

My final night shift was a filthy night. The sort that no soul should have to go out in.
But then this rolled in and I was entirely up for the shift again 😊
