After Andy got back from his morning bike ride, we headed to
Lyme Park to meet Carole and che
ck out the great new playground that has been built up along a hillside, making use of the natural inclines of the land... Ollie loved the big sandbox and digger, and Maddie loved the slid
e and swings. After a good long visit and a picnic lunch, we checked out the duck pond and then headed home. After some down time, we had a trip to the next town over, New Mills, and its fantastic
Torrs Millennium Walkway - a gorgeous new bridge and walkway that winds itself along a huge retaining wall, past an old cotton mill c. 1788,
over and around a river and waterfalls, and right past the New Mills
screw generator that powers about 60 homes in the town and would really get Granddad Richie excited! A beautiful walk - I could have explored for hours, but Ollie had a pretty short attention span for some reason. The rest of the day was quiet as well - we
had lovely fish and chips for dinner back in Hayfield at the Village Chippy, sitting on a bench outside the church in town, and then had a little bit of a walk around town. Nice day!

I love your travel journal and all the photos, but the one of Andy & Oliver walking away on that stony street is just amazing. Such a great one.
