A warm sunny summers day by the River Bradford. The river flows, below a stone clappers bridge, through the Dale of the same name which lies deep below the Derbyshire village of Youlgreave.
Sunny, shade and bubbling water a great venue for a leisurely walk.
Wherever you choose to walk this weekend…

It might have been a moody day at Ledaig. But with views over the sound of Mull whilst pottering along the tideline of the Scottish beach, it can be just perfect… and the perfect cure for a Moody Monday.
Where ever you are today and whatever you doing…

The sound of flowing water over a stony river bed is always both cooling and soothing. Such an ideal spot to site and ponder is here on the River Brathay, just below Nanny Brow at Clappersgate. Not far away is the famous Lake District town of Ambleside, sure to be busy, which makes this quiet river bank so appealing.
Where ever you are today…

Today is the last day of the School Term for most Children, in fact some have already started their summer break. It has been a very odd year for youngsters of all ages. School closures, remote learning, Covid isolation when someone in their bubble becomes ill and socialising restricted….. not to mention Exam turmoil for the old age groups.
Maybe the Summer Holidays will bring just a little bit of normality back to all our lives. Maybe not a fresh start but you have to make a start somewhere.
Many of those who are able will head to the seaside, and who can blame them.
Personal restrictions have been eased… but caution is still the key to normality
