Miserable day, so Kev dried the washing in the dryer over at the centres laundry room.
A chilled day, with a lovely visit from Charlotte, nice to have her back, the bathroom all done now and she is very happy with it. It will certainly help. I know first hand having a walk in shower can help when you're mobility is impaired.
Later on we went to meet Jason and Cathy and Bentley Potts at the Rose and Crown. It's the first visit since it reopened. Can't say they covered themselves in glory. They weren't doing food, then they were, the fridges and freezers were on the blink, then the chef wasn't on... Make your minds up guys.
We decamped to the Manvers instead after one drink.
Now that was a different story, the welcome was good, the food even better, and they had dog treats and bought Bentley a bowl of water.
After a long while of us thinking it would be overpriced and snooty, we couldn't be proved any more wrong. Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced meals. I think we will be back. Sorry Rose and Crown you blew your chance.
Lovely to see Jason and Cathy as it always is, they bought us some lovely gifts ( total surprise) Jack Skellington mugs, skull candle, wine and chocolates too. Really spoiled us both.
Bentley is such a cutie, soft as butter and you can tell he loves them both already. As he is loved in return. Its nice to see.
They gave us lift home, and promises exchanged to meet up again in the new year in Matlock. Can't meet in Derby now, the place is a dump and not a safe one by the sounds of it. And Burton is out, apart from the upcoming funeral we won't set foot in the place, enough bad memories to put us off for life.
