delving down

31 March 2016

Beautiful day for a hike up the ever wonderful Win Hill 

 birds cheeping, skies blue

 wind in our hair

 and finally at that glorious summit with it's 360deg views

 a big hug

 and a well earned piece of barabrith before heading down again into the Hope Valley

 beautiful evening sun slanting across the hills

and back to Grenoside for a treaty Pete's fish and chip supper.

Friday 1 April

Back into Derbyshire and up beyond Castleton - lambs galloping down the hillside

 as we approach Treak Cliff Cavern for our descent underground

 great veins of Blue John and the only cavern where it's still mined

 concentrating with our guide

 fossils galore

 and more semi precious stone

 as we crouch low through the tunnels

to reach this amazing web of spooky natural caves 

 and finally out into the hillside

back into Sheffield and straight over to Peddler Market at Burton Street for some amazing street food and fun.

First off a bowl of chana masala from Manjit's Kitchen and a gin and elderflower cocktail from ShedSoda

  Depot Bakery's tempting donuts . . .

but finally tore ourselves away for a sneak pre-birthday celebration with someone special ....

so - - - - - - Happy Birthday this week someone special - have a wonderful time
