Closed till Spring.

Studying the news.
Derby is a pleasant town which after 3pm in mid-winter is all but closed. The General Store is the only place you can buy fuel and fortunately stays open all day. The pub looks to be open but I've never been in there nor seen anyone else go in. The other pub, the one that's for sale, sells pizzas but they're stuck in the past and still permit smoking inside the pub so I haven't been there either. The rest of the town is mostly closed, or for sale, or both closed and for sale. The Tin Centre is new and modern, with a nice cafe and staff who like to discuss gems and fossicking. It has a warm bright courtyard, just the place to be on a sunny winter morning.
