Sunday calls for Sunday Dinner! Granddad Maurice helped to organize a nice meal today
with his cousin, Christine and her husband, Len. It was the first time I'd met them, and I was looking forward to it as they'd been so nice to send cards and gifts for our wedding, the kids, etc., but we'd never met! After a drive through the "Dark Peak's" bleak but interesting landscape, we met them around noon at the
Rising Sun, a pub near
Hope Valley that
was about 50 minutes from Hayfield. A big family event, with Carole and Maurice, Steve and Al and the girls, and us. We were there for at least 3 hours, socializing first in the pub, then at a huge table in a big room that we had all to ourselves - which was lucky, as the kids needed to run around a bit by the end of it. I had wonderful lamb with all the fixings, mmmm.
Back in Hayfield later on, we had a great little walk up to "20 Trees," a grouping of trees on a hillside overlooking town (see first photo). Ollie had fun climbing over or around all the different stiles at the fences, and he trooped all the way up the hill without complaining! It was so nice, looking down at our pretty town from up there, and it was windy, too, as you can see!

How come Andy's hair isn't blowing straight up like everybody else's?
Oh, wait, never mind. :-)
