Red Admiral

I met up with my sister-in-law at McArthur Glen in North Derbyshire for a day of shopping, chat and chocolate  (the home of Thornton's after all.)  It was fabulous - and so were the quiet roads, completely the opposite of the usual pattern.  Sadly, it wasn't the same for her, as she had most of the M1 roadworks to contend with.

I had time to go for a lovely wander round Branston Water Park on the way home - lots of sun, butterflies and interesting people and dogs.

Another really good day out.
