Detoured past Preston North End's home ground to pick up a home strip top for Patrick, which he has already worn with pride - if I can work out how to upload photos I'll add it as soon as I can.
Uneventful two and a half hour drive down/across to Derby. Haven't caused a major pile-up on the motorway yet - to my knowledge at least. Have even overtaken 2 Mercedes and 1 BMW - I shan't say how old I guessed the drivers to be. On the way I noticed an old church which had been 'decommisioned' and was now being used as a gym - the advertising banner proclaimed 'Give me strength' - rather clever I thought. Found our hotel accommodation without any difficulty. Even got to drive on Lara Croft Way - I kid ye not. What is this world coming to. Accommodation comfortable without having that special something. Excellent pillows that actually seem to elevate one's head off the mattress - looking forward to putting them to the test tonight. Nice view though. But glory of glories - the free Wi-fi works...in the room no less!
Observations rather thin on the ground today - one hotel room is much the same as another. Will try to dream up something profound after a wine or two at dinner.
Dinner - one gin and tonic and one (small) red wine (another one from Chile, and I must say they have all been very drinkable - not rip-snorters, but not at all shabby) later (and food as well), still nothing to say - not even superficially. Goodnight.
