I walked into Buxton today to see what the first day of opening of non-essential shops and stores would be like. I saw little to write home about. Shops were open and there were plenty of people, but not much evidence of the excitement all the T.V. channels heralded as their main news item. Perhaps it was just me that didn’t feel the sense of occasion. Although bright, I was cold and really wanted to go inside somewhere for a designer coffee. Eventually, I started to walk home, the way I had come, through the Pavilion Gardens which make up the first three pictures in this blog. By the time I was may-be a third of the way home, I was more than ready for a bus or taxi to take me back up the hill. A taxi showed up near the Blazing Rag pub on London Road. I had covered 11,300 steps, and 19,300 yesterday, and could thus justify a ride the rest of the way home. I was soon revived in a nice warm car! I shall be going into Buxton again tomorrow, for an al fresco coffee with friends at the Pavilion Gardens.
