A MORNING IN BUXTON

Saturday morning plans where changed , we where going to Newark on the train but fire at Nottingham station changed that so had a ride up to Buxton 

love these walk ways , across from the opera house  a few of them round there 

back of the massive building on the crescent  being renovated 

 back out on the street 

then we slipped through in to the arcade ,great little shops and cafes in there 

a great roof , nice little cafe on the top floor Charlottes nice lattes and snacks

this place is a must if you have a sweet tooth , you will be spoilt for choice believe me ,

then it was onto the park to be photo bombed by the resident wild life population 

point that me one more time and your days are numbered mate 

so a quick retreat was made 

a quick shot of the parks stream and them off home
