Nottingham

Friday, 23rd - Sunday, 25th February

Friday
A trip to see our friends Dave and Murial (otherwise known as our beloved Moo). First some news when we arrived: Moo is pregnant. We are still reeling from the shock of Dave about to become a Daddy. Actually, he has been a successful school teacher for some years so perhaps we shouldn't 'reel' that much :) We watch Walk the Line and talk for a long time. Dave cooks curry, which is delicious.

Saturday
We end up driving around Derbyshire, which is an unexpected treat as Marcus was born and bred there. Nice to re-visit old haunts: Cromford, Ambergate, Dovedale and Bakewell. Drove through Matlock Bath on the way back - another old haunt. Moo cooked a lovely minestone soup when we got back. (She is going to send me the recipie).

Sunday
We go into the centre of Nottingham (Oh my God - poper shops)! for a lovely meal at a pub. that is built around the canal. It has two barges in the centre of it. Aferwards, I get held up in TK Max and end up buying two tops I don't need.
