We are slowly emerging, both from winter and from lockdown. Things are starting to open up a little, and while I am still cautious, we are spreading our wings a little, in the form of some small local adventures. We've not done anything dramatic. We walked around our local town one evening, and discovered a new (to us) bit of woodland, that we've been back to a couple of times. We've also been exploring other local towns. We often head up to Whaley Bridge for a cup of tea and a wander along the canal, but we'd never made it up to the reservoir before. Part of the damn collapsed a couple of years ago, leading to the evacuation of the town (but fortunately no flooding), so it was interesting to see in person what we'd seen on the news so many times. Quite often our adventures involve cafes. Our favourite one is now open again, and we are making up for lost time by visiting as often as we can, always with a blanket in the car, just in case. We're trying out other local-ish places that we've not been to before, and finding some hidden gems (some complete with furry friends). Today is my birthday, and while I don't have any definite plans, I imagine it will involve at least one cafe. I hope the sun comes out, although I'm not holding my breath - we've had a run of lovely, sunny days, and are forecast rain for this afternoon. I've bought myself a book, and might sneak off for a daytime bath - a rare treat.

Hello!Sit down and make yourself comfortable. I'm Jenni, and I write here about our new foray into country living, which includes growing food, knitting, baking, wandering around the fields, and seeing which local cafe serves the best cake. Categories
