A Nuthall family becoming growingly famous for their annual Christmas lights switch-on will once again be supported by the Siddiqui's from bafta-winning TV show Gogglebox.
Last year the Swift family, comprising of Adam and his parents Tony and Wendy, wrapped their home in more than 67,000 lights which increased their energy bill by £8 per night.
Despite the hefty bill the family, who live in Laurel Crescent, have been decking their house in Christmas joy for 16 years and have raised a total of £125,000 for charity.
They chose to donate some of the money to Nottingham Hospitals, after Wendy's father, John Sheeran, was diagnosed with terminal cancer 15 years ago and received treatment and care at palliative care centre Hayward House.
It has not been a vintage year for poppies locally to me, most of my favourite locations for them no longer have any.
My good friend Mark spotted this one on his frequent travels down the M1 motorway and although it's not amazing in terms of composition, it did at least scratch the poppy itch so to speak.

With UK`s worst season now upon us, and with the weather making a turn for the worst with it becoming too hot and muggy, this pub along Nuthall Road, Nottingham, seemed very inviting. However, with client to see that evening, and a drive back down the M1, I thought it best not to have a few refreshing ales!

One of very few turquoise line photos from the day I was actually happy with was this one of 655. Resplendent in the latest livery it makes its way into Nottingham along Nuthall Road with a 79A.

Another Rainbow One I’d previously not seen until now was 169, which has lost some of its branding near the rear. With this one spotted, the only remaining R1 I need to see is OJK and then I’ve cleared the 20 plate batch. It’d better not be the next fire victim...

As Derby Road by QMC was closed for most of the morning, the Red Arrow took a lengthy diversion via the A610 and M1.
908 was seen by the Nuthall heading towards Nottingham.
And, drum roll please! My final NCT 'N' route for a photo, the N77 to Cinderhill via Strelley, seen here at Lower Parliament Street with 986 (YT10UWP) doing the honours.
Again, the final time an OmniDekka was photographed working the route, as just two weeks later, Enviro400's took over - again with the first working this coming Friday.
The N77 follows the route of the normal 77 to The Rose Inn on Moor Road, where it apparently turns around (although we all know buses don't turn on triangles, so in all likelihood, it probably turns somewhere close by), and then heads back to, and along Broxtowe Lane - over a stretch normally only served twice daily Monday to Friday by the 76 - following the road straight ahead along Bells Lane to Cinderhill roundabout. From here, it's on to Nuthall Road like a 71, and then continuing straight ahead to and along the route of the 79/79A, terminating at The Whitemoor.
That's it for the four part Nottingham set, do hope you've enjoyed all four - and the night and unusual route photographs especially. If you're thinking now I've got all the night route, I won't bother again, you'll be proved wrong as there's still plenty of night things planned for the future!

In 1565 a priest, Paolo Almerico, on his retirement from the Vatican (as referendario apostolico of Pope Pius IV and afterwards Pius V), decided to return to his home town of Vicenza and build a country house. This house, later known as 'La Rotonda', was to be one of Palladio's best-known legacies to the architectural world. Villa Capra may have inspired a thousand subsequent buildings, but the villa was itself inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. The proper name is Villa Almerico Capra Valmarana, but it is also known as La Rotonda, Villa Rotonda, Villa Capra and Villa Almerico. The name "Capra" derives from the Capra brothers, who completed the building after it was ceded to them in 1592. Along with other works by Palladio, the building is conserved as part of the World Heritage Site "City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto".
The design reflected the humanist values of Renaissance architecture. In order for each room to have some sun, the design was rotated 45 degrees from each cardinal point of the compass. Each of the four porticos has pediments graced by statues of classical deities. The pediments were each supported by six Ionic columns. Each portico was flanked by a single window. All principal rooms were on the second floor or piano nobile.
Building began in 1567. Neither Palladio nor the owner, Paolo Almerico, were to see the completion of the villa. Palladio died in 1580 and a second architect, Vincenzo Scamozzi, was employed by the new owners to oversee the completion. One of the major changes he made to the original plan was to modify the two-storey centre hall. Palladio had intended it to be covered by a high semi-circular dome but Scamozzi designed a lower dome with an oculus (intended to be open to the sky) inspired by the Pantheon in Rome. The dome was ultimately completed with a cupola.

Five houses have been built in Britain based on Palladio's Villa Rotonda: Henbury Hall, Cheshire, Chiswick House, London, and Mereworth Castle, Kent, are protected as listed buildings; Foots Cray Place, Kent, and Nuthall Temple, Nottinghamshire have been demolished.
As I mentioned on another photo, whilst normally found on the 60/62, they weren't tied down to those routes, so could still crop elsewhere from time to time.

On loan for the last two weeks at Trent Barton, this Alexander Dennis Enviro 200MMC (Major Model Change) demonstrator hasn't seen too much action in service, having only been out with a spare driver if said spare driver isn't required elsewhere. The lack of main day timetable testing is due to the bus not being fitted with a ticket machine, the company not wanting to lose a lot of revenue, which is a shame, as if this was going out to Alfreton, I'd have gladly paid £6 for a Zig Zag!!
With the foresight at puchasing some of these next year (The Nines being mentioned), I have to say that although the exterior of the E200MMC has yet to grow on me, the interior is a big upgrade to the current E200 model, and a much sturdier product in comparison to a Versa the same size!!
Customer feedback was positive from the folks I overheard, saying they thought it was much more spacious than the normal blue ones, yet this had four less seats!!
YX65RLO spits me out at Cinderhill Island with a Rainbow One extra to Eastwood before coming off for what could be the last time with Trent. Many thanks to Matt Burley for the information this was out. With only 424 miles on the clock, it's safe to say there's some miles left in this yet....
The fact I’d see some of the Rainbow One was purely incidental to the day’s plan. However, I ended up doing quite well out of it because I got a couple of the troublesome MMCs that had avoided me thus far! One of the new ones was 159 here, finally photographed on the outskirts of Nottingham at Nuthall Road on 27.3.25

Whilst the 53 and 54 have been largely cut aside from early morning journeys finishing at 7am on the special pandemic timetables, NCT still have a presence in the meantime on the Ring Road with Medilink running every 30 minutes from 0545 to 2015.

A photo taken on the 5th of December 2025, showing the beautiful colours of Nuthall Christmas Lights, just outside of Nottingham.
For this is a display of Christmas lights that throughout the years have been raising money for Charity, for Hayward House at The City Hospital in Nottingham and for When You Wish Upon A Star. And the owners have been lighting up this fantastic display of lights for the past 20 years. However sadly 2025 marks the last time that these lights will be shining, and this photo was something of "a grab a chance when you can" kind of photo as there was a break in the rain and wind for just mere moments, and this is the photo that I came away with.

Another establish public house closed, another victim to recent government policy. This art deco style pub was built in 1930 for the Home Brewery Co, and was designed by architects Evans, Clark & Wollatt. Although presently closed, the building remains of architectural interest, and has an entry on Nottingham Civic Society's Draft Heritage List. Whether that's enough to save it from the bulldozer, I don't know?
The Newcastle Arms is situated on the A610 Nuthall Road, to the North West side of Nottingham.
Passing the now defunct pub is Nottingham City Transport 660, a Scania N230UD with an Alexander Dennis E400 body. The bus was new to NCT in 2015.

A rather non-descript day in Settle and a party from Nuthall Methodist Church in Nottingham are passing through on board their very own vehicle, what appears to be a Bedford YMT with Plaxton Supreme IV bodywork. I'm afraid I don't know what registration this used to be, but it did go on to become KCH 742V. The PSV mark has since graced several other vehicles owned by other operators. Nuthall Methodist Church is still going and the parishioners still own their own bus, but not this one, instead a DAF/Van Hool called Elsie.

If you think it is a long process for this woodpecker to get in the tunnel, think again! With its feet on the outside it tucks its head down and under the legs while she brings her tail up and over and pulls her head down! It happens so fast it looks like a magic trick. Just one fluid motion.
I am not sure if this is a bird nest. It is sort of an unusual angle. By the same token it did seem to be excavating, though it could just be mining some insects. It would be rather hard for a larger or smaller bird to get in, though, I would think.
