I may never catch up!
I got to Mum’s no problem, arriving just after lunch
A few pictures of Pavilion Gardens in Buxton which were crammed with tourists, wet children and dogs (they’d been in the river)

Buxton is a Spa Town. At the start of the 20th century people used to come here to drink the spring water for their health. The water is from a volcanic source and is warm like that in Bath; the Romans came here too, but maybe not so many as Buxton is at a higher altitude and further north and much colder
The water is bottled and widely sold in the UK... or you can bring your own bottle and fill up from the well head where water pours out continuously.

Lovely! I’d love some of that water, please!
