Weekend in Derby

Just back from a Bank Holiday weekend in Derby catching up with the family.

Day 1: Chatsworth House


Have not been here for years and it was a lovely day out. Drove past all the bikers in Matlock Bath and managed to find it OK. Saw lots of friendly sheep in the fields.


Didn't bother going inside the House but there was enough to see with the gardens, adventure playground and the farmyard animals. The countryside was beautiful and it stayed fine all day. We even had a picnic.


Day 2: Markeaton Park

The kids love Markeaton Park. They get free ice creams (with flakes) from Auntie Vita and free tokens for all the attractions which included the Racing Cars (2 goes each) and the Crazy Golf. Bit rainy for the Bouncey Castle.



Lia even had a go on the donkey.

You should have popped in for a cup of tea. Didnt know you were coming up for the weekend.
I was on standby for the park if the weather was nice, as always.

Sorry James - thought my dad said you'd be working at the park on Monday and was hoping to see you there. I guess the weather wasn't good enough.
