Title: Our day out
Post by: RonaldMcBurger on 27 August 2007, 21:54:35
Went to Matlock and the surrounding area today. Stumbled on a sewage treatment plant, but that was on the way to the workshops near the matlock old railway. Then, a trip around the back doubles taking in some of the most beautiful countryside in England. Spent £10.20 on 1 fish and chips, 1 pie and chips, i bag of chips, 2 cans of Vimto and 1 lilt.

Took the dog with us and he actually behaved. Hardly barked at other dogs, even the one with 'dangle berries' bigger than footballs that stood next to us whilst we were eating. I seemed to get a twitch in my leg just then and the big dog decided to leave - quickly! ;D

Anyway, enjoyed the day out. Unfortunately, I fogot my stick and came back ever so slightly in pain. Doubl;e dose of painkillers tonight and I am off to bed.

I also bought another laptop because I got bored.

Used to go Matlock every Sunday when I was an "Elsie Boy" ;) brilliant ride in whichever way you take..

Did you go up the Heights of Abraham?  

There is a Massive outdoor paddling pool for kids (that gets packed when the sun is out) that I had never seen before until about two years ago ::)

The Illuminations start soon they are worth a look

Lovely part of the world.  A really nice walk along old railway line from Matlock to Buxton as well (gets a bit difficult where you have to walk along river, esp if your woman is not wearing sensible walking boots!)
