Longtime readers of this blog may recall that back in 2010 an apartment block was being advertised at Caulfield, smack bang between where the Frankston and Dandenong lines diverge.

Lots of people usually alight at my station, even late at night. But as we all exit and walk off in different directions, the streets, especially at night, can get pretty quiet very fast.

One of the joys of London are the alleys with wonderful names, and this is perfect example of one that can be found near Clerkenwell.

Earlier this week, the bells of St Pauls’ were removed from the Cathedral, and sent back to their makers for repairs. Not that they are under warranty anymore, as they were made by John Taylor & Co in Loughborough… in 1878.

A few miles from its fictional location, there is a very real Albert Square and it has a large open garden in the heart of the square.
