I’ve said it before (and I’ll probably say it again 😅)… once you’ve been doing this for a while, and at my age, you definitely get a bit more repetitive!

But even now, I still get asked to make things I’ve never done before — and I love that. This was my very first Barber’s Pole! 💈

The red looks darker in the photo than it really was, but I was honestly so pleased with how it turned out. Even better? The customer loved it. 🙌

At the end of the day, it’s all about the people we create for. Without you, there’s no us — and we never forget that. ❤️

I know it's all about the beautiful array of summer flowers right now - the peony this year are stunning - but I will admit it was lovely to make this hand tied today in such rich, cheerful colours. 🧡💛

Solent from First Bus has launched four converted electric buses in #Portsmouth, #Fareham and #Gosport. Former diesel vehicles, now fully refurbished and fitted with electric engines by Wrightbus, offer a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative to new electric buses. This follows the electrification of the Hoeford depot and the earlier introduction of 62 electric buses, supported by Portsmouth City Council, #Hampshire County Council and DfT funding.

The repowered buses will run across the region, including university routes, helping cut emissions and improve air quality. By reusing existing vehicles, First Bus reduces waste and environmental impact. The initiative is part of a wider plan to achieve a fully zero-emission fleet by 2035, with 32 conversions underway across the UK.

Local leaders welcomed the move as a smart, sustainable step toward affordable, greener public transport.

Feel the power: Solent from First Bus introduces converted electric buses | First Bus UK News

Solent from First Bus has introduced four newly converted electric buses into service in Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport The ‘repowered’ diesel vehicles have been fully refurbished to a near-new standard and converted to electric power, delivering more environmentally friendly travel for passengers. The news comes one year after the electrification of First Bus’s Hoeford depot in Fareham, and the successful introduction of 62 new electric buses to Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport, in partnership with Portsmouth City Council and Hampshire County Council*. The repowered buses will run on routes across Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport, including the University routes in Portsmouth. The transformation of these buses represents a significant step in reducing carbon emissions. By repurposing existing diesel vehicles, First Bus is extending their lifespan while avoiding the environmental impact associated with disposing of old ones. The innovative conversion process, undertaken by UK bus manufacturer Wrightbus, takes out the diesel engine and fully replaces it to make it electric, in a fraction of the time and the cost of manufacturing an electric bus. This process significantly reduces carbon emissions, helping to combat climate change and making it a highly sustainable solution for fleet renewal. The newly converted electric buses bring all the benefits of new electric vehicles, including zero tailpipe emissions. They will contribute to improved air quality, reducing harmful pollutants that can negatively impact respiratory health. Gary Weaver, First Bus South’s Engineering Director, said: “We are proud to introduce these four converted electric buses to Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport. This initiative not only provides a second life for existing vehicles but also delivers a low-carbon, sustainable transport option that benefits both passengers and the wider community. “At First Bus, we are committed to leading the way in the transition to greener public transport, and this project is another example of how we are making that happen.” Cllr Peter Candlish, Portsmouth City Council's Cabinet Member for Transport said: "The success of electric buses in Portsmouth has already shown how quieter, cleaner, and greener travel benefits our city. Cost-effectively re-powering these buses from diesel to electric is a smart way to bring forward another step in our commitment to deliver affordable, sustainable, and zero-emission transport for everyone." The introduction of these vehicles is part of First Bus’s wider strategy to transition to a fully zero-emission fleet by 2035. Across the business, it is initially introducing 32 repowers across four regions of the UK.
