Had a great trip to @explorebuxton.bsky.social to watch Legend perform the music of #BobMarley & the Wailers. They got the sound spot on at Buxton Opera House - great show. As the drummer in a busy Stranglers covers band it was nice to sit back and watch someone else do all the work for a change.

Good morning all. A gorgeous day in the Peak District and one that is snowy, bright and clear, the lido showing a vivid blue against a black and white backdrop.

It may have been raining but we had an exhilarating time in @explorebuxton.bsky.social in
@peakdistrict.bsky.social today. Poole’s Cavern was simply beautiful and what a treat to see the ancient cave paintings of Santa on his sleigh. The story of how the cave got it’s name is well worth looking up.
