After our two weeks of ‘self-isolation’ in North Wales, Jude and I decamped across to another cottage in Alstonefield, in the Peak District National Park. There we met up with various members of our family, including my daughter, Sarah and her husband, Karl. Although the weather was a bit gloomy, we set off to do a walk to the nearby village of Hartington, following the beautiful River Dove.
The Peak District is generally considered to be (and is mostly) in Derbyshire, but I’ve just read that the River Dove forms the border between it and Staffordshire. So, as we went back and forth across the various bridges (see below), we were (unknowingly in my case) skipping between the two counties.
It’s also Sarah’s birthday today, so it’s perhaps appropriate that I should post some pictures of her. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sarah! 🎂💐🥂😊

What a treat to include seeing your daughter and family for her birthday! It’s been such a difficult year to be with each other. Wonderful, gorgeous photos as well!

Thanks Donna, but I may have misled you and maybe others. So, just to put the record straight… The walk was a few days before my daughter’s birthday, but the post was published on her birthday. Whatever, it was nice to see her and her husband as well as almost all of Jude’s family while we were away.
