      Manor Park and visiting Fam

      19. mai, England ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

      Out for a walk and a bit of mini golf at Manor Park. Brilliant weather for it!

      Later, we head to Auntie Enids and Uncle Terry's for a cuppa and had a good catch up while the boys went and checked out Uncle Terrys Games shed. Pool, air hockey, foosball, ping pong, and darts. I couldnt go without a game myself so, a match of pool started with my Uncle Terry. England vs. New Zealand. It was pretty nec and nec, but I can happily say NZ won!Les mer

      A Day in rhe Peak District

      19. september 2019, England ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

      A fabulous day. Met Gill and Bob for breakfast and they had worked out a plan for the day - our one full day together. Instead of wandering round Buxton, they took us round the area in the car, visiting and passing through so many picturesque villages - stone houses, pretty gardens - going on 2 walks - one beside a small stream and at the end of the day we went up to a high rocky edge which we walked up and what a wonderful view from the top over the whole countryside. And again it was perfect weather! After starting quite cold in the morning (about 10° I think) it warmed up until we only needed t-shirts walking in the sun. Then deliciously cools off again after sunset. This wonderful weather now makes me nervous for what will be in store for us next week!

      A highlight of the day was a visit to Chatsworth - the Stately Home and estate of the dukes of Devonshire. It is in this area so we drove in and parked and walked round the grounds. It is enormous and you can pay quite a lot and visit inside the house and garden, but that would be a serious several hours, so we walked and admired from outside.

      One small town we stopped in was Bakewell, very pretty, where we bought cheese and had a tea break, with their local specialty Bakewell tart, and we stopped for a beer and nibbles before we did the walk up the ridge. So we were nicely hungry when we returned to Buxton and had a Thai meal. We had seen the restaurant last night and that it was busy and full so thought we’d try it. Excellent, and now ready for bed.      Les mer

      Buxton

      12. april, England ⋅ 🌬 14 °C

      A walk through Grin Low Wood, up to Solomon's Tower with Coen navigating. Then down to the town for food and a wander round the old bathhouse (now a shopping arcade), the Crescent, to the Opera House and pavillion hothouse, before refilling our water bottles with the famous local mineral water at St Ann's Well.Les mer

      Buxton to Carlisle

      20. september 2019, England ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      A very varied day. We heard from Carole and John yesterday that they had arrived in Edinburgh but that their bags had not, and that they may not be able to meet us in Carlisle today as planned...frustrating situation, people didn’t seem to know where they were....anyway, to cut a long story short (bags mis-tagged etc) the bags miraculously arrived this morning, and all the original plans came back into action- and we have met them here in Carlisle this evening, had dinner together and all is well!

      So to start at the beginning of the day, we met Gill and Bob who had to leave early afternoon to drive almost to London for a 50th wedding anniversary with friends. But we spent a lovely morning with them. First had breakfast and had substantial food, brunch really, and it did keep us going till dinner. Then Gill knew a nearby walk up to another high spot above Buxton and it was magnificent. On top is Solomon’s temple, nothing to do with king Solomon or religion, but I believe I was a folly of one of the Dukes of Devonshire a few hundred years ago. Anyway, it had a magnificent view over Buxton and the surrounding countryside and amr says we walked about 12 kms, so that was good before our train journey.

      We got to the train station early as we had checked out of the hotel, and Gill and Bob had gone, and realised we could catch any train back to Manchester as they were not booked seats and local trains, and also the second train from Manchester to Preston which was similarly unbooked seats, but this second one turned out to be extremely busy, and we were glad we weren’t even later on a Friday afternoon. Each journey was almost an hour, and we got to Preston in tons of time to find the platform for our last train to Carlisle. We had to wait for the correct train this time as it was a big express from London to Edinburgh and thank goodness we did have seats as it was also madly crowded.

      All went well and we are now safely ensconced in our Ibis near the station and have enjoyed catching up with Carole and John, and ready for new adventures.      Les mer

      We are in Glossop

      18. mai, England ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Driving through from Holyhead to Glossop. It was cloudy to start, but then the sun came out for us. Auntie Enid drove us to my cousin Andys, where we are staying. The roads are quite narrow, and the buildings are all brick work and cobblestone. It's gorgeous. They have a lovely bungalo style home. It is very cozy and plenty of garden for the kids. They even have a spa pool, so we will be giving that a go later!

      They have pets, too, and they are just what we need when we are missing our Maximoo and Loken back home.

      I also found a picture of Nana and Andy, and it made my heart so happy 😊      Les mer

      Train to Buxton

      18. september 2019, England ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

      Another fun day! Amr and I started by having a walk along a cycling/walking track near Omnia’s house where we have walked before...as we were embarking on another train journey. Not such a long one this time, but involved 2 trains, changing at Manchester Piccadilly. Omnia drove us to Lime Street, and on the way we passed the famous Beatles landmark Strawberry Fields.

      Each train journey was about an hour, all on time and efficient, and we chugged through lovely countryside arriving at Buxton about 3.30. Gill and Bob met us at the station. Lovely to see them! They just got back last night from 10 days in Crete.

      Checked into the hotel and had a little walk in this very charming town. Had early dinner in a pub (pie and beer!) and went to the Opera House, a lovely old theatre, as we had tickets for an evening listening to Ranulph Fiennes. Gill had seen that this was on and we had agreed we’d all love to go. And it was absolutely fantastic. What a man! Explorer and adventurer, broken all sorts of records crossing Antarctica, circling the world on water and land via the Poles...and at 75 he’s still going. He was extremely funny, speaking in a droll deadpan way about his exploits. So that was a highlight. Tomorrow a full day here with Gill and Bob.      Les mer

      Blue John Cavern

      21. mai, England ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      The plan today starts with Auntie Enid picking us up, and we make our way to the Blue John Caverns. Surrounded by lovely country side and many baa lambs. The Blue John Cavern in the Peak District is a series of caverns considered to be the finest range in Great Britain.

      There were 245 steps to go down, and there was only one way to go in the cavern and out, so we did 490 steps altogether.      Les mer

      Grandad Alec

      22. mai, England ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      When we got back to Auntie Enids this afternoon, she brought out my grandads album he put together from when he was in the Navy in Korea. The album itself is pretty special as it has the same detailed art on my jewelry box my mum gave me. Which means he must have purchased them together. It was rather special holding the album that my grandad would have held. He passed away before I was born.

      My Grandad served on the HMS D20 and D43. Both ships served in the Far East between 1947 and 1957 as part of the 8th Destroyer Squadron. However, the D20 Comus that engaged in the Korean War was damaged in the Yellow Sea by two North Korean Ilyushin 11-10 on Tuesday 22 August 1950.

      The album was filled with many photos of him and his time, and he had a couple of portraits that were drawn that were really cool to see.

      Right at the end, I found in the album a small picture of my mum, which I'd guess was when she was 7 or 8. Precious ❤️      Les mer

      Peak District National Park

      5. juli 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F

      We are housesitting in Thurcroft, east of Sheffield. Today we drove to the Peak District National Park, to take a peek! Wish we would have had more time there as it is very pretty. Scenes from Pride and Prejudice were filmed there.

      The village of Castleton is named for the 11th century Norman castle on the hill above the town. The town has lots of rock buildings and rock walls, a brook, (called a" beck" in the UK) and a museum.

      In the museum the story of 18th and 19th century lead mining history was explained. The area now has several caves to tour, including two that produce Blue John stone, a semi-precious stone found nowhere else on earth! The name Blue John is thought to originate from the French words, bleu et jaune meaning blue and yellow.

      The park also has some reservoirs, which were built in the early 1900s to supply water for the industrial areas of Sheffield, Manchester, and Derby.      Les mer
