We woke up this morning, had breakfast and then came back to our room to watch an ABC live stream of election night. Heard Anthony Green say "Not tonight". After 9pm your time, we went and caught the train to Derby.
The weather was good, there was the inevitable rain, but it does go away.
Derby is a sprawling city, by UK standards.
We saw the cathedral, with its ring of 10 bells - the oldest ring of 10 bells in the World (they say). The first was the tenor (19cwt 1lb) cast in 1520 by Seliok of Nottingham. The rest were cast one by one between 1607 and up till 1693, by a variety of Nottingham foundries. They were retuned in 1927 by John Taylor.
Coffee has been a challenge this trip. Oh well, we are in the land famous for tea drinking.
But there is a wonderful Keralan restaurant in Leicester. We have been there two nights in a row. it is popular with locals too.
Then we caught up with the final election results for the night - which was no result. Oh well, the Liberals will tear themselves apart after this result and who knows where it will all end. Like the UK, we are leaderless for a while.
