Insanabile cacoethes scribendi -
An incurable passion to write.

Qvae nocent docent -
Things that hurt, teach.
School of Hard Knocks

Sursum puteulanus -
Up the blues

Bolsover, known to the locals as Bozer, is a small market town close to Chesterfield in Derbyshire. The town’s hill top location is nestling between Sherwood Forest and the Peak District. Despite it’s history as a mining town it offers a superb blend of spectacular scenery, historical features and quaint market centre.

Bolsover certainly has it’s fair share of public houses including The Quiet Woman - supposedly the only quiet woman in the country..!!
