In Matlock Bath we went up to the Heights of Abraham (via cable-car) where we had a fantastic view of the villages and countryside. Below you can see Sheryl climbing up some of the dangerously steep 52 stairs of the 12.2m high Victoria Prospect Tower! After that Sheryl had her first English fish 'n' chips for lunch. Not surprisingly, she found it very greasy. Much to my delight Matlock Bath also named a road after me. See below!
We then headed to Bakewell - home of the Bakewell tarts (that's the name of a pudding not in reference to the females of the village). It's a nice little place. Plenty of shops, cosy pubs and cafes and a lovely river populated by trout, birds & ducks - a loitering spot for the elderly I noticed.

Aww. You're just showing off in your jandels.
So, mostly importantly, have you been for Broomhead fish and chips yet? Make sure Sheryl tries a fishcake! Yum.
ALso, I bet Sheryl would like Meadowhall. Dad hates it, but I love Meadowhall.
BTW we saw Superman last weekend - highly recommend it.

Nothing wrong with greasy fish and chips, an English delicacy.I agree with Claire, your Uncle John's take some beating.I hear he's put on a few pounds, probably the fat in the fryer and the beer in the pub next door.Take care.Teif.
No trip to the Broomheads yet - Uncle John is in Torquay for a fortnight on his holidays. It will have to wait I'm afraid.
Thanks for the links Teif. Most likely we will have to find work before Xmas - but if we can make our money stretch who knows.
XMas Hey before you get a job?You could be a thin Santa and Sheryl a fairy, or perhaps consider a role reversal?
like the pic in bakewell but don't eat too many puddings or fishcakes sheryl! its ok for dale - he can take the extra pounds if he's going to play santa this year!
