Downtown Derby

A drive into Derby for the afternoon was rather challenging, it seems every road in.. is either blocked or to thin... took a lonnnng time.

Was lovely once we were there, a wander around the Museum and Art gallery, they werent large, but some very interessting bits and pieces... a 3000 year old long boat was very cool.

Also a Mamoth Tusk... yes... think about that... a Mamoth Tusk... how very cool is that???

I mean seriously.... this thing could be up to 4 million years old ????


We then made our way to Dorreen and Trevors, we spent a lovely few hours laughing with them and meeting Maureen, Alistair and Kim.. lots of laughs a good fun.
