Personally, I think it's a bit poor scenery wise (there are far better views to be had in the Peak) but it's still nice to walk there! I'm so lucky to have grown up in the Peak District! It looks like you also live in an area with stunning scenery, judging by the views of your garden!<br /><br />LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043065727770116407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814665899248320412.post-19393307869683080462011-09-11T20:11:15.870+10:002011-09-11T20:11:15.870+10:00Hello again Claire!

I especially love frayed edges and wonky lines, makes thing full of character. Hmmmm, are you making a bunny from that doily, a bunny with yellow polka dot ears?<br />I love the Butter Factory and visited there on the way to the snow a couple of years ago. Lucky you to have just visited.<br />I had a chuckle at your description of going to 'Big Town'. My parents refer to their once a week grocery shopping expeditions as going to 'Big Town' or 'Little Town'. Must be a country thing! :)<br />Have a lovely evening Claire and keep warm.
