Hot and sunny day.
Two contrasting experiences today. This morning a drive through Hope Valley to the Ladybower reservoir. Water at 60% which is surprising considering so little rain in recent months. Water level was of course well below the top level of the two plugs which discharges water into the River Derwent when reservoir is full.
Enjoyed a good walk through woodland before lunch at the Ladybower Inn.
This afternoon enjoyed a very interesting time at a cutlery factory just minutes away from Ladybower actually.
Not any old cutlery factory but the Mr. David Mellor factory. DM is as famous for his design of the UK traffic light, letter box, bus shelter, waste bins, street lamps and bollards as he is for designing all things cutlery.
The factory itself is built on the foundations of a gasometer, the factory complex is on land previously used by the fad industry.
A most fascinating and interesting afternoon.
