HMBARNS revisited: Day 0: Afore Ye Go
Soon we're going to Derbyshire again, for our first "boomerang" holiday. If you don't know why it's a "boomerang" you haven't been paying attention, so get on that search function!.
We're in preparation mode, and have been since we got home last time. Every email [almost] to Steve & Vicki has had the number of days to go in it, I've spoken to Vicki fairly recently and had the number of days at the ready because I just knew she was going to ask, and I wasn't disappointed.
We are looking forward to the journey down, thanks to the boy's early birthday present from his Mum & Dad. Well, not so much looking forward to it but not dreading it! But it's the destination that we're looking forward to the most, as we sit here trying to plan the week out as best we can, revisiting some places and adding new ones. It is strange, however, as we look back to the canal over 2 years ago when the whole holiday was about the journey and not the destination. So where will we finish up? Crich is a must as there's a Classic Ford day while we're in town, Bakewell will be on the list for lunch, the Denby factory because we just have to check the shop out for any new or special Regency Green (we also have our cat sitters to think about, who share our taste in crockery). The new things? To be agreed upon, but we have a wet weather ace up the sleeve! Did I mention Bakewell? Twice? Oh go on then, if you insist!
Anyhow, here we go, the car's full and we're all packed and ready to go. All pigs are fed and ready for take-off too.

Hi All
Two days since you left, so I thought I'd have a look at Alderstone! It was great to see you all again and we're delighted that you've booked to come yet again! Must go ... I have to read Saturday's entry!
