7/7 is a funny day. The anniversary of the start of my railway career in 1989. Had some highs and some lows. This day in 2005 was a low. Was in Liverpool Street when the first one went off, left for Stratford not knowing until I’d walked to a deserted station and found out.
Never forget.

Five years ago today we rescued Bruno from a broken and unloving home. He filled the hole left by our other Choccy, Toby who’s passed the previous April.
Happy Gotcha day, Bruno🐾❤️🐾❤️
