Ridiculously mild here yesterday, a high of 16°C and no rain - so also did a short walk around the lovely NT Kedleston Hall.
The trees are just glorious.
Hope you got the house stuff sorted.

Fabulous ancient inn on the medieval Derby-Chesterfield coach road.
Authentic rather than smart, and very popular.
It was the last day of their October beer festival.
Saturday was sunny so we walked over there & stumbled back (it's an hour or so from home).

It's very autumnal here now; temperatures have dipped.
Getting the odd lovely sunny day - Saturday was perfect for a pub walk.

Might get to do the rest of the local scarecrow trail if the weather holds up. There were far more than expected.
Hope you get used to the mattress, it usually takes me a while.

The trouble with staying in tourist places is you get a pretty standardised tourist menu.

The ferry journeys were fun too.
Definitely want to go back to Croatia and Dubrovnik is top of my list.
