This weekend I have returned to Ratae (Leicester) for the weekend. Other than the fact that Leicester is flatter and contains my friends and family, I have not really missed this place; it is dirtier, and contains more pigeons that Isca. Leicester additionally has an odd smell (which reminds me of a fake, cheap-Russian Calvin Cline aftershave), which I never really noticed before.

But having said this, I am looking forward to seeing Leicester Diwali lights; they are apparently the most spectacular lights out of India.
