Buxton - early June!

[TotalChaos]

Any takers. Riven is ooop north for about a week starting 6th June.

.

ahem

Sounds nice. erm, maybe. dunno. depends. (need balls)

which is probably what most people are thinking when they say "yeah great to a meet-up"

you could always come to mine for coffee instead.

I mean, I probably won't dare let you in, but I could put a hose through the letterbox and feed coffee through, and throw cake at you from the upstairs window.

or I could wear a blindfold and balaclava

seriously - if you feel more comfortable having a random axe murderer mumsnetter to your house, I'm happy to do it that way.

Really? Well, to be serious (for once) you are welcome. do you live in buxton then?

Me and dd will be based near Matlock for most of the summer (at the Nine Ladies, for anyone who knows the area/issue?)

If anyone wants to meet us we'd love to!

no, in Liverpool, but Buxton is certainly easily day trippable. Also Riven is going to be up from Bristol area around that time, and Buxton seems positively next door by comparison to Buxton

the quarry?

ah, well, about 20 miles from hartington (buxton yes?) ! bet that's too far! If not, you're v welcome of course.

However, there also is a lovely coffee shop/book shop in bakewell, which is only 10 miles from buxton and very accessible. (and one of very few places I actually feel comfy in!! It's good.)

you too Stripey. ?????

oh - I'm not trying to get you to change your plans to suit me, btw! Don't mean to suggest you must alter your buxton plans in any way!

yeah, come along stripey.

Hecate - book shop sounds v good, is it open Sundays?

yup.

I think we may have a plan then

I suddenly feel I've barged into your meet-up and taken over. so what is your preference?

it really takes very very little to get me into a bookshop . and presumably it's a nice independent one so it will be my social duty to buy a few books from it

this is it

Ah sorry was putting an overtired dd to bed!

Yes - the quarry, the protest is almost over and the site is due to be cleared over the summer. We'll be there helping to tidy up and leave the land as it was found. So riven, we'll be smellier than you I bet!

Bookshop/cafe sounds dangerously good.

i'll get my coat then shall I (flounces off)

In fact, now I've looked at the link I think I have been there before when dd was very small. Do they have a sort of lake/pond with ducks?

If its the place I remember it was very good and child friendly/accessible.
