I'm off to Wirksworth to watch my grandson playing cricket for Cutthorpe on Saturday.The other half is going to a country music festival at Walesby which starts this Friday and finishes the following Sunday which sorts her out for the next ten days.

No plans as yet just waiting to see how the weather is over the weekend, may have a wander down to one of the local pubs Sunday as they have something going off.
The beauty of retirement is that we can go out and about during the week when it's quieter.

Camping out you must be joking.The only camping out she will do is in hotels preferably  where its hot-Gran Canaria in four weeks time.
She travels to Walesby every day which takes about 50 minutes.

I have just come through Wirksworth an hour ago and it is carnival weekend.The place is heaving with people.One pub on the main street must have had at least 200 stood outside having a drink and others looked pretty busy.

Hubby tells me at one time the carnival in Wirksworth always ended in fighting so hoping it's calmer this weekend  :)
