What a fabulous weekend we've had. While DD went to see her boyfriend, we had a lovely night away in a country pub near Ashbourne on the edge of the Peak District.
DD had had a fabulous time training on the Isle of Wight. We picked her up from the airport on Friday night, complete with all her freebies she'd been given during the week. I'm so pleased she enjoyed it and hope she enjoys her new role.
So, after arriving home Friday night, and unpacking her suitcase, DD repacked and left for Leicester yesterday morning. We'd booked a room at a country pub for us for last night as a last minute getaway for our Wedding Anniversary. Today we have been married 19 years!
We arrived at the pub too early to check in, so we had some lunch and set off on a walk. The weather was glorious - blue sky and sunshine, and although we started out with our fleeces on, we quickly opted to go down to just t-shirts as it was so warm.
The scenery was beautiful - a part of the country we don't often visit as we usually head north.
And although we made it to a village with a pub that was open, we just did a quick geocache find then started heading back and had a snack overlooking Okeover Hall.
And then we had this sight in the morning.........
Chickens everywhere!!! Strange but also lovely to see.
Then after breakfast we headed off to Thorpe and pretty Dovedale. And once again the sun was shining. We have been so lucky with the weather this weekend.
We were doing ok with the walk until we reached the 'popular' bit, where there was so many other people, and dogs off their leads, that it was starting to upset Oscar and starting to make things less enjoyable for us. So we turned round and headed back.
It was very pretty, just too busy for us. So time for a brew back at the van.
After that we headed home, making it back before DD.
And look what DH got me for our anniversary .......
