The Weekend was so relaxing, I forgot to post!!

Well, actually, Sunday and Monday I felt really ill - sore thoat, headache etc. and couldn't face staring at the screen. (And incidentally a note for my mate "Snapper" Harrison who commented on my last blog entry - when it comes to updating blogs regularly Tim ..."Kettle-Pot-Black" springs to mind??!!)

Saturday was a good day though! Decided to give football a miss and the Duchess and I went for a walk around a lovely little village called Ashford-in-the-Water. It's near Bakewell in Derbyshire and the Duchess told me that when she was young, the road through the village was a main route and was heavily congested. Some years ago, they built a by-pass and the main A6 road now runs around the village making it a fantastic, quiet "backwater" of a spot..

We spent maybe an hour or more there and here's some of the pictures I took to give you the "feel" of the place.


and there's more here......
