The weather has been rather dull this week, but there's always time to take a break in between the showers. I put down my book or craftwork, Mr P leaves his nurturing of plants and we go out for a short drive down the road to Low Bradfield village. As you can see we live close to the border between Yorkshire and Derbyshire and near to the Peak District National Park.
and stopped at the village where we ventured up the driveway to the School Rooms café where we sat in the yard and had a cappuccino. Everything was well managed with a one-way system, orders taken at a stone hut-like extension that must connect with the indoor service area. Waitresses were wearing masks and brought the food and drinks to the table.
After our refreshments Mr P sat for a little longer and I had a walk by Agden Beck. The enclosed area by the stream is the place to be if you want to sit and relax or feed the ducks that congregate there, but I crossed the water by a wooden bridge and walked along the edge of the playing fields by the cricket pavilion.
The Church of St Nicholas can be seen through the greenery up in High Bradfield.
Back at the School Rooms café you can see the original carving for the boys' entrance to the Victorian school buildings. (There's also an entrance for the girls with the carving on it). It was good to see a defibrillator attached to the stonework. Let's hope it's not needed, but very useful and helpful that the village council have installed one.
Back again passed the reservoir we were soon back home. Some lunch and an afternoon of watching the tennis or the Tour de France cycling and a couple of evenings of exciting international football has been our routine this week. There's more tennis and football to come with the televised Euro Football Final (Italy v England) on Sunday. We might watch the action at our local daughter's home. I'm not going to say who we would like to win. :)
