The world beyond the city


 One distinct advantage of where we are is the Peak District national park is on our doorstep, indeed it is in part of our county although neighbouring Derbyshire tends to claim it which was where in many ways we explored and played in growing up.

The hills and fields figured more in the latter for being able to have a runabout, hiding behind things, being totally absorbed in imaginary play, in battles and campaigns that just developed in real time.

Other times we'd visit monuments and churchs often made from locally sourced material, practise identifying architectural styles and types of windows on properties.

That to me was fun!
