It's out !

The book is out - I saw it for sale at the Firs Bookshop yesterday. There's no turning back now !

I was out walking on Sunday afternoon, in the sunshine, as most walkers were heading back to their cars. We set off from Eyam car park and walked along the old lane [pictured] to Housley. Then across the fields before we reached Silly Dale where we turned round and came back to Foolow where we sat and had a coffee by the village pond.

The sun was still shining and the handful of ducks upended in the pond as we enjoyed the peace of the afternoon.

On the way back we had to do a bit of roadwalking where we made the acquaintance of a fully grown Irish Wolfhound. It came bounding out on the road with a woman shouting "Don't worry, he doesn't bite" [they all say that don't they] before the dog went in and she apologised.

Then we had an uneventful walk back, to reach Eyam at 5.30pm just as the coach took a bunch of walkers from Nottingham back home.

This will be the walk I will lead on Sunday, the 7th May, and an enjoyable one it will be, if it doesn't rain.

Before that though I'm leading a walk this Saturday, from Staunton Harold Reservoir. It's a 7 to 8 mile walk - if you're interested feel free to come along.
