Tuesday 12th December Day 143
Today I have a frustrating morning watching what’s happening with the trains. They are cancelling them all over the place or delayed and I need to get to Derby for a Christmas catch up with some friends. Finally, I see that a couple of them seem to be on time so head to the bus stop. From where we are it’s a bus ride to Stafford then train to Tamworth and a change to Derby. Again, I have to try and really focus on where I’m going and where I need to get off. You know it’s going to happen one day that I get off at the wrong place. It’s weird when you don’t have a permanent location because you’re always taking different routes on public transport. ((I cannot wait for that to happen!))
Finally, I make it to Derby and whilst I wait for one of my friends to kindly collect me to take us to my friend’s house I do some shopping in The Eagle Centre which is now called Derbion. I refuse to call it that as it’s a stupid name, and for anyone who lived in Derby back in the day they pretty much all still call it the Eagle Centre. It’s strange wandering around here. I used to work at The Works before I moved over to be a mortgage administrator and then mortgage underwriter at Nationwide and have fond memories of the place; other than the shoplifters I mentioned last week. In fact, I met my friend who’s flat I’m going to stay at in Jersey at The Works so funny how things work out.
Shopping done my friend collects me and then a great night is had by all with lots of giggles. Day done. Until tomorrow… x

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking).
At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!))
