It was such a quiet day. We'd completely forgotten that yesterday was a second Bank Holiday. It didn't matter as I didn't want or need to go in anywhere.
We just felt like being somewhere different for a while. As we travelled towards Ashbourne there were many large puddles on the roads and several fields flooded in patches of lower ground. It did rain quite hard over the Christmas weekend and it is still raining today.
A few shops were open. One or two charity shops and clothes shops like Joules and Fat Face. Local shops were mostly closed except for a newsagents.
This meant that the streets were empty which made taking photos quite easy, I always worry about getting in people's way.
It was lovely just to walk around in the fresh air, enjoying the views and the shop windows still dressed for the festive season.
I hope you all had a good Christmas and were able to see family and friends if you could.
We had a zoom chat with friends on Christmas Eve, a quiet day on Christmas Day and a long, local walk on Boxing Day.
As you will see from the photos there was a slight drizzle in the air but it was fairly warm for December.
I'll leave you with more photos below of things we spotted on our way around the town.
Take Care
