On Friday we travelled down the M1 to chesterfield ( the Cathedral with the crooked spire) and then to Macclesfield via the Derbyshire peak district. We had lunch in Buxton a very pleasant tourist town and then over the hills to Macclesfield. The view from the peaks was spectacular to the East and then to the West over Manchester and Chesire. We had a very pleasant visit with our house sit owners David, Val, Katie Andrew and Chris. A photo is attached. David organised for my laptown to work through his radio link and it worked a treat. I was able to see the radar picture of rain passing over YACK&&AH on a lap top which had no cables attached at all. AMAZING. It was P????ing down in Yack.
We are looking forward to the stay in Macclesfield, The Derbyshire peaks are a little like the Yorkshire moors less rugged but still spectacular and probably grander.
We travelled down to Weston Super Mare via the M6 and M5 with an accidental detour towards the M4 which was detected late by the resident talking GPS system in the passenger seat.
The weather here has been fine so far and we have met Molly the new Jack Russell pup. see photo. I can smell steak and kidney pie and can see two large glasses of scrumpy on the table so I will close this update.
