Wildlife (and not so wild) in the Peaks


The farm we're staying on in Derbyshire has cows. We smelled them when we arrived, and we smell them in the kitchen. It's quite a friendly smell really.

I think these are calves. On our walk on Sunday afternoon we passed through a farm where the cows were still being held indoors on winter rations.



We also passed sheep...


...and a cat.


We had excellent weather for our walk, but yesterday, when we visited Andrew and Bekka in Sheffield, was rainy all day. Jan says snow is forecast next.

Before returning home we aim to visit the Cromford Canal. It'll probably be in the snow.

The Cromford Canal very pretty, particulatly the bit between Cromford and Whatstandwell and then on to the back of Ambergate.
It gets a bit obscure from there on but well worth an exploration.

Anonymous, you'll just have to wait.

Capt. Ahab, yes, we enjoyed our (very muddy) walk along some of the Cromford Canal. There'll be a post on that soon.

VallyP, we've had a good break (back now) and have done lots of walking. Yes, the Peak District is lovely.
