I must say what a pleasure it was to get back to something vaguely like normal, taking pictures of buses again in Derby after a break over 4 months.
The bus station was very quiet with buses waiting on the streets before entering to pick up.
For those who know Derby, I spent most of my time on the bit of road outside the Council House.
Traffic roundabouts at both ends, slowing traffic down.
Buses coming at me from three directions.
Blue skies and sunshine.
What more could you want ??
