Shedding Pounds

Breakfast was included so we stuffed ourselves and scooted to Matlock. And here was an opportunity to work those calories off as young H is making a shed. From first principles. Well, as in he’s designing and building it from his own plans, rather than felling trees.
We worked till 6pm and then caught the last of the daylight up at the Laburnum Inn. A fine pub with a friendly neighbourhood vibe, and equally important, a Champion Bitter - “Ay Up” from the Dancing Duck Brewery. Onward to Shalimar, Matlock’s no1 (of 51!) restaurant. Complete with comedy staff. The gags came quick and fast. And no, that wasn’t on the food.
