As you may or may not know, the major reason why I disappeared from the scene last year was that The Poison Dwarf initiated divorce proceedings.

After a pretty horrible scrap, she's now back in the UK with my two boys (someone with clear mental health problems is adjudged to be the better carer for two sub-teen children. Yeah, right - now that is discrimination in it's most basic form on the basis of sex alone).

I'm about to go over on my first monthly visit to see them in Buxton, and could do with a bit of local help.

I have a choice of places to fly in, Machester, Nottingham, Leeds or Liverpool (from Amsterdam. Main problem is that by flying in, I have no transport. I've been out of the UK for so long I have no idea about the prices of car hire, costs of B&B, etc.

If anyone has any info about any of these things or can point me at links for local places, I would appreciate it. Either post here, PM me or mail me on [email protected]

Thanks!
