Mad about Steam Trains, Speedway, Coventry City and my lovely Wife Wendy and our family.
Travelled by train today from Lausanne to London via Paris. Best way to see wonderful countries and perhaps mourn the stupidity of our leaving the EU. Frictionless travel, single currency and free roaming have now been flushed down the toilet. Grrrrrr!

En route to Severn Valley Spring Diesel Gala for a duty. Rail abbreviations sometimes throw up something interesting. In future I shall call this journey "doing an Eccles"!

My mate Bob's funeral today. Really sad to have not made it (medical stuff myself). Been a chum for 18 years and a great guy; proper Coventry chap, and so dedicated to the Severn Valley Railway. Chuffed to have known you Bob.
