We visited the Museum of Making in Derby today that shows the area's manufacturing history.
Just inside the entrance towards the cafe area, there was an exploding Toyota Corolla Hybrid car suspended above people's heads. It's quite a statement piece but I didn't stand under it for too long!
After we looked around the museum we went to the River Cafe inside. The food is all locally sourced. My brother had a latte but I fancied something different, so I chose a turmeric oat latte made with steamed oat milk. The colour is always ... ahem ..... interesting.
I've made turmeric drinks myself but it's always nice for a professional to do it. I really enjoyed it. It's not a drink I could have every day because I'd want my caffeine shot, but it was a lovely warm, spicy drink on a cold, wet day. I had a headache, so turmeric and drugs do work!
To accompany our drinks we had roasted squash and bean stew (one with pancetta) and rustic bread. It was yummy and I could have easily eaten another bowl full.
It was our first visit. The museum was free which is always good and the food and drink was very enjoyable. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. You couldn't have asked for much more.

Hey @ellenripley,
Great idea not to stand underneath those things hanging up high, as you never know when its support might decide that it's tired and gonna let go.🤣
Ummmm, you've given me a great meal idea here about the roast squash and beans. I will definitely look up a recipe close to that.
Ahem! That colour?! I think it might be just a little "too interesting" for me 😆
Great photos as usual!
Have a nice day:)
Thank you @millycf1976. The drink was lovely but looked like cat puke. I was trying to be polite. 😁
It looks too much like pus to me 😆
🤣
Nice food and good museum! Headache gone!
Well you know it's not often I go anywhere where there's no food. 😁
Yup! Very important to have yummy sustenance!
Thank you very much. Yellow coffee rocks .... mmmm. 💖
Hahaha! I hope the weather is better by you! 😍
It's fairly calm at the moment. Famous last words. I hope it is for you two on the Badger.
It's stormy weather here in Wales. We found a safe spot just at the top of Chirk by the tunnel. We are fairly protected here and don't seem to get banged about like most other boaters, so we're good:)
Good!
😊
