UK Okay?

Another wander along Stanage

 I haven't Blogged for a month or so for the obvious reason that not much has been happening. The coldest April for sixty years gave way to the wettest May since records began - 130 years ago. With that being the case there was little incentive to travel away from the Peak, and not much enthusiasm for climbing locally either to be honest. We have kept busy with local walks and the odd day trip out to Derbyshire plus some long-overdue DIY on the flat but it has felt very much like we have been kicking our heels waiting for something to happen.

Sherri striding out.

Hordes on Stanage

Our second jab was brought forward by a couple of weeks which was great - we had to go to Chesterfield to get it done, but now we are only 10 days away from the best protection the vaccine can give. Foreign travel is still advised against - France and Germany have recently banned UK travellers because of the Indian Variant - so it still looks like we won't be rushing off anytime soon.

In other news we are getting married in a couple of days - we have been engaged for over thirty years - at least one positive thing to come out of the pandemic is that we have had a bit of time to get things sorted. We originally booked the date in the UK last summer, and had half a plan to try and get hitched in Gibraltar in the meantime but then all the borders closed, so it was back to Plan A.

A foreign honeymoon would be nice - 'anywhere away from here' in the words of Rag and Bone Man/Pinks' recent song.
