Jun 1 All Aboard

I love to travel by train. When everything goes to plan, that is.

Things have to be right. I see Robert's eyes rolling already, however, he's the same, I know.

A good seat. No one is eating crisps or other noisy edibles. No overly loud conversations phone or otherwise.

One of my most recent rail journeys was to the old stomping ground of Nottingham & to a new place to eat ..

A railway station which is now one of the finest places to eat in Nottinghamshire. It's an amazing story behind a transformation.

The setting, wonderful.

The service, ditto.

The food, ditto.

You can eat outdoors or indoors but everywhere in this restaurant, you can enjoy visual reminders of what Plumtree Station used to be.

The meal was a joy from start to finish & I managed to talk others into puddings.

So ..

Let's see what was enjoyed ..

It was a lovely journey from start to finish.

I shall definitely be booking a ticket & making another stop at Plumtree Station to eat at Perkins.
