Thursday 25th July saw us heading to Belper in the morning after we had said goodbye to one cottage from our Bolehill cottages (see here). It was a bit damp to start with but it had brightened up by the time we got to Belper. We wanted to look at a particular shop after which we found a cafe at the top of the high street where we were able to sit with the dogs in the garden area. A lot of the diners came out to make a fuss of them! From here we drove across  to Chesterfield which didn’t take that long. We did our round of Bookers then called in at Dunelm. It was feeling quite warm as we headed home so we called in at the Chatsworth Farm shop where there was a Food Fair with a number of suppliers offering samples of their food. Back home we unpacked and we thought about a picnic but with a good day forecast on Friday we decided to wait until then. Friday was another very warm day with one departure and two arrivals and one cleaner up. Chris cut the grass for the first time in nearly three weeks, the rain having greened up the grass as well as encouraged some growth. Both cottages arrived within a few minutes of each other just after 3pm. This gave us the opportunity to go for another picnic later in the afternoon so we packed up the rucksacks and headed for Kirkdale a short walk from here. With the cows in the fields behind Bolehill we had to put Blue on the lead but Smudge did his collie bit and always made sure he was between us and the cows. As we reached the top of Kirkdale we were amazed at the number of blue flowers in the field, these were Harebells. While we were enjoying our picnic I used the binoculars to try and identify some of the ridges in the distance but I couldn’t work out which ones they were. As we were packing up a man walking two lurches passed and we got chatting.   He was able to point out that that the main ridge in the distance was Rushop Edge with a partial glimpse of Mam Tor to the right (I thought it had looked like it but couldn’t believe you could see so far)  and South Head near Chapel en Le Frith to the left.  It is nice to know what you are looking at!
