Always a great view down over Bamford Moor and along the Hope Valley in Derbyshire’s Peak District. Clouds cast long shadows as they scurry across to disappear over the horizon. And no better viewpoint than at High Neb, on the popular rock climbing Gritstone rocks of Stanage.
Even on the rocks…..

What a view! You and your wife have been so blessed with all of the amazing sights you’ve seen. I do so hope you can ‘hit the road’ once again soon and travel.

Yesterday it was just a short trip…. but it felt very strange. Even today, I have an odd feeling about the day. I enjoyed it…but rather unsure about traveling even just a little further. For someone who you might say ‘lived’ on the road this just not a good feeling. Maybe normal will return

After such a long lock down, I think it’s natural to feel the way you are feeling. What was normal to us before this virus seems strange now and I think that’s because we’ve been given an overdose of fear. Hoping for a better tomorrow for all of us.
