Mum and Dad have been exploring again and found this rural phone box in Cumbria.

Always nice to see a defib box!
There are a couple more boxes to log from Mum and Dad’s travels, but next week I’m hoping to review the phone box book I’m reading.
Can’t do too long a post because the dark mode on the new WordPress update isn’t working properly so I have to look away from the screen while typing 😫 Not ideal!
I’ve finally started reading The British Phonebox. It’s really good so far! Review coming next week hopefully if I’ve finished it by then.
The book foreshadows the Hull exception fairly early on, which reminded me of this fun BBC phone box article from the other day! Hull probably isn’t on most people’s tourism bucket lists but it is on mine…
Yes, I’m checking on the King Street West phone box again 😀
With the new baby niece in existence we will be visiting Toronto as much as we can. Always nice to see this phone box though!
Flew into Toronto yesterday so the focus right now is on trying to stay awake. I hope to visit the Toronto phone box again once my brain is back in gear, but that will have to wait till next week!
Bit of a ramble today to update about what will be coming for future phone box posts!
I’m up to date with the phone box logging as it stands, but have quite a few boxes in my notes that for various reasons I wasn’t able to photograph. I have plans to ‘collect’ some of them later this year but for now I have logged everything (bar one or two photos for which I need to do a bit more research).
The long-promised phone box map – if you’ve been following for the last few months you’ll know that all phone box posts are now complete with coordinates, so they’re ready to go once I start working on this project! The question is when I’ll have time to do so, but I might be able to get a better sense of that during an upcoming writing retreat.
After a multi-year break I am back marathoning Doctor Who again, so there will be an eventual return to my sub-series of ‘The Wrong Phone Box’ posts. I also have one or two videogame phone box features in the planning.
I also still need to do this book review I promised over four years ago 😬 plus at least one post about other phone box paraphernalia I have in the house!
Lots in the pipeline, but it will be a bit quiet for the next few weeks. Hoping to keep sharing progress though!
Following my discovery of the black K-series homage phone box in Middlesbrough, sparking a memory of the one in Bradford, I realised I was also running past one with my running club every Sunday!

Still not got round to researching these, but I will!
