A very different day. We took the train to Buxton and had a lovely time. The only rain was when we were indoors. Again the showers came on very suddenly but the sun was soon out again. We first had a tour in this converted milk float! A very knowledgeable driver told us about the history of the various buildings and we were able to plan where we wanted to revisit later.

Buxton is famous for its mineral water and luckily it doesn't taste of the sulphur which is the case in some of the spa towns. It is warm but tasted fine. There is a free fountain for the good townsfolk of Buxton.

There are too many photos to post on this blog so I'll save them for the book at the end but we were impressed With the indoor gardens and the Victorian postbox.

We loved an old second hand book shop and could have spent hours there and we also visited Poole's Cavern to see the limestone formations.

Afternoon tea in the hotel where Mary Queen of Scot's stayed was a good conclusion to the day and we are off to a quiz night in the local pub tonight.
