I bought the Sunday Telegraph and almost immediately regretted saving 20p – it isn’t half as good as the Sunday Times. After spending a few hours reading the paper and Polly scurrying around the house cleaning around me we decided to go to Llyn Mawr for a walk and a picnic. John soon came back… Read More »
Frank, Julia and I decided that after our big lunch we should get some exercise so we headed out of the back door and straight up onto Bamford Edge in the Peak District (Bamford).

The Millfield “village fete” had to take place in the tennis centre as rain was forecast. The duties were posted up and I found myself assigned to the candy floss and popcorn stall with Laura, one of the activity staff.
