A few days away - dodging the raindrops

The UK is a wonderful place, but sometimes the rain just seems too much. For six days in April, I travelled around Sheffield and Derbyshire, mainly in the beautiful Peak District. It was wonderful, but definitely damp.

One of my favourite sights was the hoard of musical ephemera at Yellow Arch studios in Sheffield.
