In the Wilds of Derbyshire

The Peak District, where we've been staying, could almost be Western New York

though I say "almost" because there are a few differences. For example, we were woken up by baaaas not moos, or the sound of spring peepers. The family outside our window are having a lie-in....

There are stone walls.....

And the people call you "luv". And live in cottages like this.

But the weather is currently better in Western New York. Much better. But of course it's going to get colder as soon as we arrive back.
