YORK TO BAKEWELL AND MATLOCK

SATURDAY 12^TH

Time to move on again.  It was raining when we packed up and left Melbourne Hall.   It has been a nice week and we have really enjoyed the rural atmosphere and sitting watching the birds in the trees and the pheasants in the orchard. 

The rain continued all the way to Matlock where we intended to stay however couldn’t find a B & B with a vacancy so drove on to Bakewell where we were lucky enough to score one room for two nights.  The rain has continued since we arrived. 

We had lunch in a pub called Arkwright which really tickled Ian’s fancy.  He loved Ronnie Barker in ‘Open all Hours’   Don’t think the pub would open all hours though. 

At last I have some decent service with the internet connection and have been able to put on some photos and get the blog done without it cutting out.  Technology is great till it doesn't work well.
