Things move slowly at James and Sons – still no yea or nay on an increase in my hours there. However, on Thursday the client database will be going live, and I will get to work on the stock database. After a weather assisted draw at Old Trafford settled the destiny of the ashes, England are responding well to having being dismissed for a smallish total on their first innings.
Returning to my coverage of my holiday, Wednesday saw a visit to Bolsover Castle and supper cooked by me.
Bolsover Castle is an extraordinary place, with the framework of an older very large castle surrounding the still intact new and much smaller castle. I will let those of the 150-odd photos I took that I have chosen to upload tell the rest of the story.

It is an amazing find in such an unpromising position, isn’t it? A small but perfectly formed Renaissance castle tucked away near the public library.
