Springtime in England . . .

Well, we always say we don't come to England for the weather - and indeed, it hasn't let us down.
Our week in the Peak District, Derbyshire, and the wet has descended.

Good accommodation, our very own self-catering cottage on Bellcross Farm, high on the moors, on the Chatsworth Estate, home of the Duke and Dutchess of Devonshire. But, more of that later.

The Farm -

The view from our front door -

and one of the many pheasant neighbours, lurking just outside the door!

But no use sulking about the weather . . .off to explore our local surroundings, with a lunch break at the Barrel Inn, high on the moors, warm and snug inside.

"Oh, to be in England,
now that Spring is here . . ."
