Reflecting on Christmas

I know that we are now through the Christmas period, but if you like to reflect like I do, then this is definitely worth a read: A Christmas Observation

New Year in the Peak District

Woodstreetgirl and I just spent 2 days with great friends in Buxton. What a great time of eating, drinking and being merry! We even managed on New Years Eve to be energetic and go on a 6 mile walk - we needed to as Dennistoun's answer to Martha Stewart had been baking especially for the trip and, well, it was New Year after all!

Check out the video of woodstreetgirl navigating dangerous waters while woodstreetman (obviously feeling very chivalrous) stands back to record in case there is any falling in ;-)Even the swan thought it was worth watching!



The Peak District is such a beautiful place, and may not be as dramatic as the highlands, but from what little I experienced, it seems just as interesting in its own way.

A special hello to those of you that we spent this special time with, it was great to see you all and hope we can repeat again soon - where do we go next after Edinburgh, the Lake District and now Buxton?!
