Sheep may safely graze (we spotted them before the dogs did).
An image from two or three weeks ago, shortly after my birthday. It is a bit of a tradition that @shepherdmanswife and I take a day off of work on my birthday, or at least close to it, and go for a day’s walk, usually in the Derbyshire Peak District. Thanks to an aging Lesia, not to mentions a wife who feels her age from time to time, these walks aren’t as long as they were a few years ago, and I am instructed to avoid hill climbs. Anyone who enjoys a walk in the Derbyshire Peak District knows that the reason that they enjoy a walk in the Derbyshire Peak District is because of the Derbyshire Peaks. And to enjoy a Derbyshire Peak one generally has to climb a hill. Nevertheless, having invested in a subscription to WalkingWorld.com (thoroughly recommended to UK viewers) I found a walk that was graded as “Easy” (I refused to select “Gentle Stroll”), that directed us along a gentle route over a low moorland, and down through this gorgeous birch-wood valley. Fortunately we spotted the sheep before the dogs did, and they were safely on a lead before we got close.
