Midlands Holiday - Day 1
Our holiday started in the most exciting way possible – I had to go and buy a new tyre for my car. Whoo hoo! That’s 72 quid I would rather have spent on posh meals and tickets to tourist attractions. Nevermind.
Anyway, we drove down to Nottingham via the Peak District, stopping at Matlock for a quick butty and a mooch around. What we didn’t realise was that we’d stopped in the boring half of Matlock. If you keep going over the bridge the town gets much more interesting. Still we’ll know that for next time.
When we arrived at the Nottingham Riverside Travelodge we were happy to find a big pub attached to it. Nice one. But OMG do NOT order a starter and main course. I’ve never seen so much food in my life.
