The view from the house.Today was going to be a day of little driving. We did a circuit of Hayfield to Glossop where we did the obligatory charity shops and Tim found a bookshop where he got a bargain of 6 books on 19 century colonial books with a £10 discount as the prices were marked wrongly.
Next stop was Buxton. It was similar to the other towns in the area ,all made of stone. Sadly the antique shops were closed, but June managed to buy herself a skirt and some dog treats.
Back in Hayfield our home town it was a different scenario, as you can see,
You may well ask! It's a butter churn, just what we always needed. Tim says he is going to make butter, so watch this space.We got home in time for a walk as it gets dark abut 6. We walked into town down a very narrow roadside and we came across the house where Arthur Lowe from dads army was born.
It's a lovely village and it is the backdrop for the series "the village" which hasn't been shown in oz yet. We waked back along the river
Looking for more famous signs when I came across this one on the front of the house and took a photo, when I zoomed in this is what It was. haha.
We did find a nice pub though where we stopped for a beer, walking is thirsty work .
Sadly this is the last photo of the day, as Tim tripped and dropped my camera and it has broken the lens ! Needless to say I was a bit upset and have been trying to work out where I can get another one before we go to France.
Can't wait for the butter - now you'll have to buy a cow! Really bad luck with the camera - why don't you use the Ipad for photos?
