The Great Central Railway is a heritage railway. It’s prime use is as a tourist and steam train enthusiast attraction. Sometimes it is used as a location for film and TV productions.

It is maintained with love. The route is not long being only between Loughborough and Leicester North.

It runs seven days a week and its stations and trains take one back in time whilst still being in the present.

Here are the steps down on to the station platform at the line’s Quorn and Woodhouse railway station. Wooden they make a good sound as you descend or ascend them.

A little friendly fallafel competition

Food, France, the French, Paris

get back, lauretta!

Walking through Le Marais yesterday, my guide pointed out 2 restaurants in the old Jewish quartiere. They are located across the street from each other and both specialize in fallafel. Each restaurant tries to outshine it’s main competitor, and, judging from the crowd size, I’d say that L’As du Fallafel is winning, at least it was yesterday!
