Easter in the Derbyshire Peak District

We had decided to meet up with Christien, Seb, Ally and Arlo one more time before we set off on our travels again and Ally had found what looked to be a cute little hide away for us all to meet at. Our journey was just over a couple of hours, across a surprisingly quietContinueContinue reading “Easter in the Derbyshire Peak District”

Getting together for a long weekend in Staffordshire

We’ve been quite busy visiting friends almost every week since our return about five weeks ago.

Time with the folks and more fun with good friends.

Wow! it’s nearly 3 weeks since we arrived back in the UK and that time has really raced by. We’ve split our time between my parents, (which works well for Rach as her folks aren’t far away) & my brothers house further south. When we first arrived the weather was a bit hit and missContinueContinue reading “Time with the folks and more fun with good friends.”
