As some will have seen on Facebook, yesterday we went up to Derbyshire for a Peak District Walk. We go up to the Peak District every year on my birthday, for a walk and to see our friend Merell, who bred Lesia. Since my birthday fell on Bank Holiday Monday we went up the following day instead, when the Peak District would be a little less busy.
We drove up to Curbar Edge, where Chantal and Lesia headed one way on a short slow stroll in the hope of finding highland cattle the graze on the Edge. Tia and I went the other way onto Curbar Edge for a longer walk. I planned to walk a mile or so along the Edge and then drop into the valley for the return leg but it was so lovely up on the edge that we ignored the path down into the valley, and instead did a 4 mile there-and-back walk.
After meeting back at the car, Chantal treated me to a pub lunch before going to see Merell at Beeley, stopping briefly for a photos of the village church.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
