Today's lunch Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill; pan-fried seabass (bought from the Victorian fishmonger 2 mins walk away), served on gorgeous Denby Pottery Halo tableware. Great value food, and a celebration of our chefs' craftsmanship. So proud of what the River Kitchen offers.

A flying visit to Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill in #Derby today. Loads to enjoy, including the shop featuring lovely work by local makers and a great cafe, but especially enjoyed this photo of the APT and the amazing #LEGOLakeDistrict by Jon ‘Tod’ Tordoff
Fab day out taking my neighbours' Lego-loving son to Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill, where we checked out the Lake District created by a Lego-loving artist. Then we chatted with the artist before making and displaying new Lego creations.
Today’s explorations have taken us to the fab Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill in Derby … always a treasure trove and currently featuring a brilliant model of the Lake District made from Lego by artist Jon Tordoff.
(And glad to see it has recovered from the recent floods)
Yesterday, I went to Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill with my neighbours' son. He asked if he could use my phone to take a few photos of things that interested him. He took 225 photos.
