Stoney Middleton Well Dressing

Sunday dawned bright and we mount a 272 to Hathersage where we meet our friends for a day out looking at  Well Dressings at the village of Stoney Middleton in Derbyshire. The main feature was excellent; probably the best we've seen to date. The centre feature was particularly interesting and, being just made, really subtle in colour. Tea and a cake were essential to appreciate the art work.

Picking raspberries, buying plants and having an excellent lunch at our friends' cottage, plus being welcomed by three sheepdogs - we're sure they remember us (our smell probably ...) - and walking over the farm to the Mill Pond, made the day perfect. Some places are very special; this is one of them.
