Tesco Express in Newbold 171.9 yesterday.

From roughly where Pennine Way is there were fields and more fields.From Brockwell Lane you walked down a narrow lane  to the bottom of the hill where there was a stream and Jacksons Farm.
If you went straight on  you were on the Donkey Racecourse eventually to an old stone cottage through a small wood past a pumping station and on to Linacre woods.
If you turned right at Jacksons Farmm it was through fields and into Newbold Village.If you went left at the farm again fields onto Ashgate Road.Gaunts Farm  was  where the Holme Hall Inn is.
I spent many hours in that area when I was young.

The bank on   Stephensons  place is closing.I think its Royal Bank of Scotland.

My wifes niece who is in the firing line at The Royal has just put a photo of herself on facebook.She is in her forties and she has   aged ten years in the last twelve months,She is haggard  and looks in a desperate state but  is determined to seei it through.
God bless you Cathy.

\I have been to the Royal for an ultrasound this morning and it was pretty busy in that department,

Thank you all.Back to work for her on Tuesday.We spoke to her this afternoon  in Nottingham and she was sat out in the sun.What sun is that I said not seen it in Newbold today.

My daughter has got  it but the only sympton is a cough.She has been told by work to get tested but is in a difficult situation.The testing station is 7 miles away from where she lives in Nottingham.She does not drive  and cannot go by taxi and obviously all her friends do not want to risk it and she lives on her own.She has been in isolation for  seven days so hopefully she might get rid of the cough soon.
Her last hope is the taxi firm who she uses are going  let her know tomorrow whether anybody  will take her.

From what I hear The Peak District has been heaving today.Car parks full and around Monsall Dale people in groups  strolling about.I also saw a photo of Matlock Bath with loads of Motor Cyclists stood around.I despair.
