Derby railway station has been closed for a little while. To be fair to them they have run an excellent bus replacement service.
However one of the local pubs that I frequent has apparently lost 25% of it’s taking and they are unlikely to get much back…..doesn’t feel right.

After our little walk up to Solomon’s temple we just had to have bacon butties for breakfast.
Note the weather was lovely in Buxton!!!

Off to Solomon’s temple as the sun goes down
Great 360 degree views.
Following morning sally goes for a Pre breakfast walk…. unheard of ?
Taking pics of the area.

Wandering around Buxton and it’s parks you come across some really impressive wood sculptures.
Recommend a stroll.

Off to Buxton in the Motorhome for a couple of days.
Lovely site (caravan & motorhome club site in Buxton) nestled in an old quarry. Been refurbished, only reopened a few weeks ago.
Went for a walk over to Errwood reservoir, 8 miles didn’t meet anyone until I was near the campsite. Great…

Waitrose have changed their free coffee system, you now have to bring your own cup.
While I agree with the policy, ie no non recyclable paper/plastic cups it’s a pain to carry your own cup. So I bought a couple of silicone squashy cups which easily fit in my pocket.
Sadly was told I couldn’t walk around the store with a cup without a lid on health & safety grounds….. strange I have had mugs of tea for nearly half a century and it hasn’t harmed me!!

Nice to pop over to see Mary, David and the kids.
Relaxing afternoon. Little Kian is growing up fast.

It’s that time again to make Sloe Gin. Even though we still have some of last years we decided to make some more.
We know an area near Cubley that has excellent sloe berries. So today I walked there and back to collect a carrier bag of them, a nice 14 mile walk.
Done my bit, now Sally’s turn.

Interesting recruitment policy. The bottom three teams in the championship are managed by 3 of the last 4 Derby Manager’s.

Clements – Reading
Mcclaren – QPR

Attended a one day first aid course.
Have to say things have moved on/improved since the last time I took a first aid course. I now know how to use a defibrillator, CPR, and a lot more. It’s all part of my involvement with Ashbourne Community Transport.
