Olympic flame and all that

The London Olympic torch/flame travelled between Matlock and Bakewell today with the centre of Matlock at a standstill for some considerable time.  I was at work and the sainsbugs car park was full up but the shop empty.  This made for a very pleasant afternoon until it became time to knock off.  My exit coincided with the progress of the flame/torch. However a cunning shopping list put together at some speed this morning as i left for work meant that once I had picked up the goodies, I had a free run by the back roads to within a mile of the cottage and only minimal traffic thereafter.

Back to normal now with the prospect of a busy weekend at the shop!
