Probably the last of the summer wine

still some flowers and butterflies around

track through the fields

Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles, lived here

almshouses (built for poor widows etc) in a village we walked through

country lane back down to where we parked...

...by the old manor house

squirrels everywhere
Summer's last gasp, 21 degrees when we did this walk.  Since then it's been about 10 degrees colder and mainly rainy.  We did a 2 hour walk just over the border in Derbyshire and had a pub lunch (cider not wine).  Now we are sorting out our stuff, got our train tickets to London....will be back in NZ soon.

    Looking forward to catching up with you. Do we have to provide a ploughmans with cider? I don't think a walk around Whangarei Falls is in the same category as the walks you have done!!! I will watch out for the bus.
