Leighton Buzzard Railway
The Leighton Buzzard Light Railway (LBLR) is a light railway in Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire, England. It operates on 2 ft (610 mm) narrow-gauge track and is just under 3 miles (4.8 km) long. The line was built after the First World War to serve sand quarries north of the town. In the late 1960s the quarries switched to road transport and the railway was taken over by volunteers, who now run the line as a heritage railway.

Merry Christmas!!
These are some photographs of a silent disco happening at the Chrysalis Theatre in Camphill Milton Keynes.
A silent disco is a party where people dance to music played through wireless headphones instead of loudspeakers. The music is broadcast via a radio transmitter, which the headphones pick up. Silent discos are popular at music festivals because they allow people to keep dancing past noise curfews. They can also be held in venues with strict noise restrictions or early noise curfews.

Christmas Lunch
Christmas lunch is a meal traditionally eaten at Christmas. This meal can take place any time from the evening of Christmas Eve to the evening of Christmas Day itself. The meals are often particularly rich and substantial, in the tradition of the Christian feast day celebration, and form a significant part of gatherings held to celebrate the arrival of Christmastide. In many cases, there is a ritual element to the meal related to the religious celebration, such as the saying of grace.
The actual meal consumed varies in different parts of the world with regional cuisines and local traditions. In many parts of the world, particularly former British colonies, the meal shares some connection with the English Christmas dinner involving roasted meats and pudding of some description. The Christmas pudding and Christmas cake evolved from this tradition.
