Bakewell & Chesterfield

Today has been a tale of two towns, Bakewell this morning and Chesterfield this afternoon. It was still quite snowy this morning so we had a picturesque drive to Bakewell for some food shopping including a scrumptious Bakewell Pudding and some cream Togo over it. This afternoon we're in Chesterfield to look for a cheap pay as you go phone We plan to run it on a different network to our iPhones just to make sure we have phone reception to keep in touch with the parents. We've had a look at the famously crooked church spire here. It's most definately bent and rather weird! Here's a photo

Down the Pub

Love this place! Tiny village, no shops, two pubs. We're enjoying ourselves!

Snow!

No fishing for LB today. We woke to a blanket of snow, put on our wellies and cags and headed down to the lakes. It is beautiful here at any time but even better in the snow. The trees are really picturesque. The geese didn't look too happy standing on an ice flow in one of the ponds and there were no fishermen to be seen. We had a pleasant walk for an hour or so before heading back to the cottage for lunch. Will probably get the camera out this afternoon for some more snowy shots. Elvie

Heading North



LB & I are having a week away in the Peak District. We're on the road at the moment and here's a view of the Malvern Hills from the M5. There's certainly been more snow here than in South Wales. Our destination is Mill Farm Cottages at Barlow where we stayed last March. The weather is decidedly more wintery this time which should be interesting! The car is laden with thermals, fleeces, walking gear including boots and rucksacs, as well as camera and fishing kit. Personally I think LB is being a bit optimistic with the fishing gear. I've visions of him cutting a hole in the ice like an Eskimo ! Photos will be posted if available. Elvie.
