The marble statue of a lady wearing a veil has left a lasting impression on me . How the artist made the opaque marble look transparent is truly amazing !Well this is the last day of my 9 days away from work..bugger
why do holiday days always go faster than work days
Had a super week away and feeling quite relaxed.
I had a bit of sun stroke Thursday after visiting Chatsworth House ,bloody warm walking around there but its such a stunning house and grounds i think it was worth the shakes..
Peak District is my new favourite destination.

You know who is in the 133's ,he's so quick.
But Jl is on a roll, and the goat always looks good here.
Should be a classic today..
I can do a 134.5 on the xbox ,my mate has done a 133.. Its a fantastically fast track

No not yet,ive seen a lot of the area in the few visits ive done of this area.
We only drove 90 miles while there, but its quite compact in that nearly every road has a wow moment.
We stayed at Baslow

My neighbour has a pet caique on his balcony. It does a rather cute version of a well-known phone ring. It's still at the point where it's amusing but I do fear getting to the point where I shout out the window ''Won't somebody answer that bloody parrot?''

Yeah. But irritatingly, I'm now back to square one. Again.
Still everything plugged into the test socket, but now the phone (corded one) doesn't work. Removed internet gubbins from the test socket and just plugged the phone in, still nada. Internet is glacially slow. It should have begun to speed up again after two days with no dropouts, but it hasn't.
Outside box and cabling for phone line is currently in the full sun (it's a bit of a suntrap), so will try phone again later in the evening when the sun moves round. On Friday evening, I did have a good dial tone on the landline.
It's temperature related as I don't have these problems when it's cooler.
But I'm just totally flummoxed.

Lathkill Dale is probably the nicest one to walk, that walk (in red ink) is around 9 miles but you can shorten it by crossing a wooden bridge and cutting that to 4 miles.
Sabor and me near the crossing point.
EDIT the bridge that leads to Cales Dale
It should be a link if you click the photo

Apples, blackcurrants and raspberries. That's three of your five-a-day right there.
Better have another, just to be sure!

If it turns out to be sun on the outside box are you able to lean something over it to give a bit of shade?

Unfortunately not.
It's a ladder and safety gear job as the box is up in the eaves, with a wire routed round the corner to the nearest window.

I stayed in a holiday cottage next to the pub in Monyash a couple of years ago, got very busy at times! Good place to have a base to explore the area
