I have to say I'm actually proud of where I come from.

I'm actually living in a small town called Ilkeston.

Ilkeston is like bang in the middle of Nottingham and Derby.. I suppose it's good for busses and now we are finally getting a new train station after about 4 years of petitioning the government for one. It's going to be built at the old train station of course and we will be able to go to Nottingham and Derby and London whenever we like!

Of course Derby is about 35 mins or an hour unless you count the traffic by car.

And Nottingham is a little longer because to me Nottingham is the new London!

I'm also proud of the fact Actor Robert Lindsay from My Family BBC One. Used to live here and takes regular visits here.

My mum used to live around the corner from his parents before I came on the scene!.

It's awesome that he tweeted me and of course another my family cast member who played Madam hooch in Harry Potter tweeted me once.

Some of the movies Robert has been in,

Here is a little bit of Ilkeston

Of course the main problem with Ilkeston is that it's on hills and I hate hills.. I gag and am sick when it's Cold and I have a lot of back pain when it's a big hill. Another problem is some areas have pedophiles and drug dealers.. One small area called cotmahay that is!

And another problem there's a lot of empty shops and buildings like Woolworths still there as an eye sore and no one does anything about it.. One thing that bugs me though is that people move from their premises two doors down.. Why?.. Because it's bigger and their old premises just sits there.. Pretty much like the old McDonalds.. I suppose this is why people are hoping it would increase trade especially in the market if there was a train station and there would be more shops..

The problem is there just isn't anything for people to do.. There is like an art thing but you have to pay.. The Erewash museum in the town is the same every week but at least it's free and there's more pubs than you can put togther..

No wonder kids drink in the park and smoke cigarettes all the time.

I find if I'm really in pain I have to have ibroufren or paracetamol.. If I'm that bad but nothing helps if you have random stabbing pains everywhere.

Another thing that annoys me is my faveriote thing ever comes to Ilkeston town in October when it's freezing cold and I can only stand about an hour! Then again there's only about 5 rides both worth getting on and rides I'd dare ride.. I'm a chicken haha!!

Also the reason for that is there's more kids rides than their are adults rides!

A view of most of the fair at night! It's nice that the town is closed to cars and you can actually walk on the roads for once!
