Today is Indian New Year, so I went on a walking tour of #mandirs in #Leicester to pay my respects, mingle with the crowds and learn more about #Indian 🇮🇳 culture.

Dreadful. Back in the day no visit to view our #megalithic heritage was complete without a #creamtea at Polly’s. This Labour government is destroying jobs & destroying our history.
Polly Tearooms in Marlborough closes after 114 years. For the same reasons that all businesses are struggling: NI rise, minimum wage, taxes, regulations.
Our rulers can’t begin to imagine what it’s like to run a small enterprise within tight profit margins.View quoted post on X
On Sunday I went to #Leicester to enjoy #Diwali. It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves, and the @leicspolice were doing a fantastic job of keeping everybody safe. I had a wonderful time, looking forward to next year.

During #WorldWar2 my uncle George was in the reserved occupation of train driver, but like many he endured air raids and hardships for King and Country. You can support the Royal British Legion at their shop poppyshop.org.uk
