Small Northern Village, 3

The house in which we stayed in the small Derbyshire mill village featured this little chappie. We didn't find out who it was.


In the morning I took the children to a picturesque playground, where this path led to an impromptu campsite, with carvan and tent.



On our final day we went for a long country walk into the nearby hills overlooking the village. We set off through back lanes, where this resident wished to remind us which country we were in. I hadn't forgotten.


This rock formation recalled the faces on Tomi Ungerer's Fog Island.

As it seems always to be, spring was in full bloom.

We lunched at the top of a rock formation at the top of a hill.


Rock fences overgrown with moss.

On board a grounded train carriage presenting the meaning of various public walk signs.



The final leg of the journey took us along a canal, with little ducklings.


Reward of Devonshire tea.

Back to our residence. In Industrial days, I'd be back up to the top floor to work on my weaving.
