My crowdfunding project is officially one year old with my Twitter account following closely behind! I can’t believe all the support I have received over the past year. I now have over 200 followers (I really appreciate everyone for following me). (1/10)
I have raised lots of money for @TICplus_ which has been especially important over the past year. I really hope to keep raising funds once I get back out on the rails. (2/10)
I part won, one of the most amazing competitions, the @GWRHelp design a train competition, and I was lucky enough to go to Stoke Gifford to see the 802 being wrapped! @paulrgentleman I also won the @backtrack_comp about the dangers of trespassing. (3/10)
I was very kindly gifted some tickets to travel on the @CalSleeper to Fort William but very sadly there was a tragic rail incident in Stonehaven. My thoughts go out to everyone still affected by the incident. (4/10)
I have made some great friends this year including @TonyP146, I hope to go on more train journeys with him this year. I also hope to make some more great friends this year too. (5/10)
I am hoping to go on a lot more train adventures this year (COVID allowing) including to visit Scotland again and hopefully travel on some @ScotRail trains and maybe even a bit of Wales with @tfwrail. (6/10)
I am hoping my mental health improves this year as COVID hopefully eases off. I was diagnosed with autism this year which has helped me understand myself more. (7/10)
I made lots of rainbow posters this year and more recently have been making train graphics from scratch. Thank you @gawuffy for your lovely message and some advice. (8/10)
I have had a couple of radio interviews too one with @BBCGlos & @kitchtweet and one with @shedmaster48 which were great. (9/10)
Thank you to everyone for my brilliant birthday message from the #railwayfamily and for everyone’s support this year. I hope I have good and exciting 2021, I already have a couple of exciting things coming up. (10/10)
Thank you to all my followers.
Thanks for reading!
