Jon and Rachael (and Assumpta) came up from Sussex for a long weekend the Thursday before last. They brought wonderful weather with them!
We all went to Dovedale on the Friday and had a long walk, almost to Milldale, which tired Assumpta! The stepping stones were flooded and we couldn't cross the river there, altho I did see one person chance it (and he got soaked). Along the way we found tree stumps with coins hammered into them; a curious Derbyshire custom, it seems. Anyone know why?
On the Saturday we visited Chatsworth House, my first proper visit there (in over 18 years of living in Derbyshire - how bad is that?) We saw the big baby sculpture in the grounds, one of many in a current outdoor exhibition of sculptures. The interior of the house was beautiful too.
J and R treated Sylvie and me to a meal to celebrate our birthdays. This is a good time of the year!
