We went to an event at Bolsover Castle where there were Romans and Vikings and medieval things going on.
Olivia loved the play jousting.... even if this Roman soldier feared for his life....

My journey home from Loughborough today involved a huge detour to avoid a jam on the M1.
Having gone through Ashby de la Zouch and Castle Donnington I found my way back onto the motorway north of the accident.

There was a big audience too - around 600?
This photo was taken about an hour before the concert. Everything set and ready!

A couple of weeks ago we had 7 days when all UK flights were suspended due to a volcanic eruption in Iceland ( news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8621407.stm ).
Eyjafjallajökull gave us clear blue skies and stopped, temporarily, the airline graffiti in the sky.
On my way to teach in Loughborough today I noticed the quantity of vapour trails in the sky above East Midlands Airport.

I live just around the corner from County Hall.
It was built by John Smedley in 1853 as a hydro (a place where hydropathic treatments were used to cure all sorts of ailments and illnesses) and became the offices of Derbyshire County Council in 1955.

Today was the annual Mini-Rugby Festival hosted by Matlock Rugby Club at Cromford Meadows.
A great day out, even if escaping from the car park took nearly an hour and a half!
In the Under 8s Matlock came 4th in their group and so didn't qualify for the semi-finals.
The eventual winners were Bakewell who beat Southwell in the final 5-2.
