Matlock Bath looks lovely, all that greenery! And there's not much that beats a walk by the river. Knowing that it's not busy during the week is good, both Andy and I hate crowds, perhaps I can persuade him...?<br />xxHazelxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438389465030714608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-78220014443093686332019-05-22T09:48:01.411+01:002019-05-22T09:48:01.411+01:00Mick works in Derbyshire quite a lot now, he's...Mick works in Derbyshire quite a lot now, he's there today, but he's not in the picturesque areas which is a shame.

We seem to gravitate into that county as we live on its border. We didn't get as far as you did although I did think about going that way. Matlock Bath and Bakewell are attractive towns to visit. The countryside is beautiful at this time of the year. I was looking for a place that sells nice yarn, but didn't get to an outlet on our drive as we went into villages rather than towns. <br />I'm sure there are yarn shops in Bakewell. We did briefly visit a countryside garden centre - I can't resist and I needed a new weatherproof planter anyway. I'm glad you had an enjoyable outing.
