Heather, Stanton Moor, Derbyshire
August and we start to see the moors turn purple. The heather is only just showing its small clusters of purple bells, but if the weather is kind it will become fuller and richer and then towards the end of September it will fade away for another year.
Stanton Moors may not be that high but for one little man it was quite a conquest…one to be proud of…
The main point of interest we were making for was to show Ewan the Nine Ladies Stone Circle…
Surrounded by trees and Heather the Nine Ladies is a magnet for those seeking a picnic lunch spot. Ewan had other ideas on exploring the circle and its stones…
Still pleased with his ‘mountaineering’ experience….it is a case of where next Granddad.
