The forecast is pretty good, so a few days ago we chose to discard Slovenia ( it’s all planned, so will probably appear here one day soon) and try Derbyshire.
Beautiful house about 10 minutes from Matlock – decent view from the conservatory.

However, much as we might try, we can’t compete with the glamorous A – Listers in the Cayman Islands!

But back to the more mundane Derbyshire. Calke Abbey was a decent stopping off point.


Liked the modern shower

And the gardens
