Nicole, look carefully at the garden pictures. There is definite evidence of a master pruner at work!
Apart from walking the dog each day, some gardening and housework, (same old same old, and we're merely house sitters) we have strolled into town, tested a cappuccino, checked out Sainsbury's, Tesco's and a card shop. Had a few laughs in there matching up the people to the cards. Kerry Lou featured in many, as did JD ----- funny about that!!!!
Tuesday evening, wandered along to the local on Oxford Road, 50 metres away, to test the local brew. It was O.K. and so convenient, (only 100 yards home!)
This morning, I poured over a mountain of trekking books and ordnance survey maps to work out a walk in the Peak District of Derbyshire. Starting at the Crag Inn, Wildboarclough as recommended, we strode out with great enthusiasm negotiating two well marked gates leading into a field of sheep. (Andrew, it wasn't Mount Margaret Station let me tell you! Maybe 100 sheep!) We circumnavigated the fence line to find a way out ending up where we started, then panicked and retreated hastily back to the Inn. A grand trek of at least 320 yards!! Now that we have done the Peak District, we are heading to the Pennines. What odds the Himalayas?
The photos above were taken on Wednesday afternoon 11th July when I thought the sun was going to shine. I have just heard the weather forecast for tomorrow. It is going to hiss down - surprise surprise. It should be a lot better in York based on local (extremely local) reports.
