I could actually become an enthusiast!

Fleur @Fleura (35037) • United Kingdom 17 Apr 24

I have never understood train spotters and rail enthusiasts. Trains are really not that different to buses, and yes I know there are bus spotters out there too but I certainly never understood them either! I’ve been on diesel...

That was harder than I expected!

Fleur @Fleura (35037) • United Kingdom 23 Mar 23

This morning I set out to do a couple of errands. I decided I would go first thing, right after going to school with Little One, partly because it was forecast to rain later, but mainly because I knew that if I didn’t I would sit...

Fleur @Fleura (35037) • United Kingdom 10 Feb 23
