What promises to be a perfect cottage for our holiday that is! :-)

Two weeks in the Autumn near Bakewell in the Derbyshire countryside. Ahhh.... my two favourite areas of England, Derbyshire/Peak District and any part of Yorkshire, so it had to be one or the other. And, with it being Bakewell, we'll be close to Chatsworth which is my most favouritest (lol) stately home in the land. Can't wait to get back!

The 'cottage' looks like a little square castle and was a nurseryman's bothy 150 years ago. The pictures of the inside are really lovely and it has a glowing log burning stove, a sheltered roof terrace in addition to the garden area for alfresco dining (weather permitting), and is pretty much off on it's own with lots of trees and views across the Derwent Valley. I am SO looking forward to being back in Derbyshire. In my opinion, England's very own little piece of Heaven. Now if I could only make the calendar move that little bit faster for a time. Funny that - normally trying to slow it down!

The snow has finally all melted which is nice considering it's nearly April! I love the stuff, but much closer to Christmas and only for a few days. It was really a surreal few days here on the coast weather wise.

OK, I'm off now to finish the day's laundry, await Tesco's arrival and think about making some rolls. 50% wholewheat - 50% seeded white sounds good to me. You? Maybe just one small batch of biccies too? Sure, no prob. :-D
