"Be up at 4.00am" Roger said. "4.00am?" "O.K." As dawn broke we were in the middle of a field in Shrugsborough, Staffordshire.... and we were going on a balloon trip. YES!!! I just LOVE IT! A fantastic serene trip with views of patchwork countryside, country halls, farms, cattle and crops.
Back to Derbyshire... a quick visit to Cauldwell's Mill... always a favourite of mine and then a delicious lunch at the Peacock!! SO GOOD....Dignified, Derbyshire Decadence... mmmm.Oh wow! but it didn't end there........Off to Thronbridge Hall...........what a place! Acres of gardens, fabulous 12th Century manor fully updated with indoor swimming pool., but best of all. A fabulous cast who led us through the gardens, courtyards and hall in a magnificent performance of 12th night. The actors, acted, danced, sang, played instruments ...entertained beautifully. So just before midnight a perfect birthday which started at 4.00am drew to a close.
Look forward to my 62nd Roger!!!!!
