A lovely sunny day here at Uttoxeter Racecourse. No, not here for the racing, staying at the caravan site which is in the middle of the track. Mark, Michelle, Anais and Roman are here too. We have been here since Wednesday lunchtime. I met up with Mark on the way quite by accident at junction 11 of the M6 which was rather useful as my sat nav had stopped working and although I had written down directions it was nice to have someone to follow. Check out what's parked next to me, so cute. 1967 apparently so I overheard.
On Thursday we all went to Bakewell. Always a pretty town to visit. Photos courtesy of Mark as I forgot my camera.
On the way back from Bakewell we stopped off at Dove Dale. Quite busy with a long queue on both sides to cross the stepping stones.
On Good Friday we all went to Shugborough Hall. We were lucky as the private apartment of Lord (Patrick) Lichfield was open to the public. Fascinating and included some of his photographs. No photos allowed though. Another beautiful day and we had a picnic in the grounds.
Saturday we just chilled in the sunshine and went into Uttoxeter for a walk round. Nice little town.
Today we have been to Kedleston Hall, which features in the film The Duchess.
