Another trip on the 272 took us to our friends in the Hathersage-Stanage area. The snow gave a Christmas Card feel to the walk across the fields. The sunshine didn't really make up for the cold wind, but the whole scene was worth the chill.
Filled to the brim with food, we spent a snug night only to wake in the morning to find the snow falling again. Everything look really lovely and the absence of any wind allowed the garden to feel like silent perfection; birds' twittering was the only sound to break the silence. A Wood pecker and several Robins feeding at the hanging, bird feeders, along with a couple of male Pheasants pecking at the seeds that had fallen onto the ground, finished the scene. Delightful!
A quick breakfast and we were off to walk across the fields to the village where we caught a 272 back to the smoke.
