SUNDAY : HINCKLEY - DERBYSHIRE - FOSSE PARK - HINCKLEY

After breakfast, Moo drove us to Derbyshire for a visit with the ‘Lettuces’.  It was about an hour’s drive and traffic and roads were quite bad.  We got there a little after we said we would but we were welcomed by Superwoman making a cheesecake.

Superdad was cutting the grass and we watched him from the conservatory while we ate our homemade cake.

The kids (Boywonder and CatGirl) were practising for their singing exams and hair was being crimped (scarecrow style) while we chatted and had a good catch up.  Superwoman made us a lovely lunch of everything plus the cheesecake.  It was very scrummy.   We had a lovely morning.  They are a really nice family and it felt like we had just popped around the corner like always.

On the way home, Moo drove and I fell asleep.

We spent some time at FossePark which was interesting and pretty much as I remembered.

It rained on and off and finally we decided to go for a walk.  Moo took me to see her allotment and then we walked to the Marina and had a wander.  We had a really good walk.


When we got back we were hungry and we had homemade homegrown carrot soup with cheese on toast and apple crumble.  Yum yum.
