Perfect day #2

Well, I never expected to be blogging #2 so soon! Our first visit of the year to our 'special place', Matlock Bath, close to the Peak District and Derbyshire Dales, was as wonderful as ever. The weather wasn't perfect, with high winds requiring the cable cars to be ballasted, yet it was still warm and, where we chose to eat our picnic, quite sheltered. Time always seems to pass equivocally yet dreamily. Later on, looking round from our place near the river, the Prospect Tower announced itself from an unusual angle, peeping out from behind some leaves bathed in the mellow evening light: this was the image selected to represent the day.
