My Addiction!

I’ve been called sad and strange and all sorts of names, but I am allowed to like what I like. I can’t explain my admiration of trains, I just love them and always have. Well, I’m an addict to all forms of public transport. People seem to quite like my collection of London Underground themed T-shirts, especially me. The London Underground is my true passion, no trip to the capital is complete without a quick (or in most cases long) trip on the tube. I am particularly fond of the Jubilee line, for which there are no pens in the London Transport Museum when every other line has a pen?!

Trains are my other addiction. I will grab any opportunity I can to go on the train, unless it’s cycleable. I’ve never had a bad experience on the railway. I thoroughly enjoyed my daily commute into London in the cramped carriages. The other exciting trip I had was last Friday when I did Fareham to Coventry with my Sister. (Crosscountry trains are nice!) I’m planning on acquiring a Railcard this week, when I’m 16 on Thursday, which’ll get me 1/3 off all train tickets, then I shall go and explore, I’d like to go to Brighton and Exeter just to name a couple.

My other aim is to one day do the £30 public transport challenge and see just how far I can travel using public transport with a limit of £30??

The Last Few Weeks

Having computer problems dented my blogging capability so I’ll just bring you up to speed with the goings on, that I can remember, from the last few weeks.

• We finished school back in July and I received the highest achievement in Maths and French for my year group, after many years of fighting for the Maths one.
• I got a lovely job painting fences from one of my twitter friends, thank you @BeachHut81.
• I went camping with my best friend to Lulworth for a few days.
• One of my highlights had to have been my trip to London and 1 year anniversary with Laura. They were a brilliant couple of days, thank you Laura.
• We went on holiday to Croyde, North Devon and had a lovely week body-boarding, cycling and (for me) eating!
• I helped 1st Stubbington Scouts at the Stubbington Fayre where we raised £467!
• I went on a huge travel journey on the 3rd September with my sister, we went by train from Fareham to Coventry, then car from Coventry to Yorkshire for a 50th wedding anniversary dinner. Then on the same day drove back to Coventry. Exhausting! But a huge congratulations to my grandparents – Barbara and Kenneth Langley, 50 years is truly fantastic.
• And then today I met up with the other side of the family for a BBQ. So it’s been fairly busy and very enjoyable.

I almost forgot, the computer’s mended now!
