Of course, I really should spend some time in the house soon. It's not going to decorate itself after all. We've got a plasterer coming on Tuesday to do a final awkward bit, and I'll do a DIY update after that.
Looking back at my pictures from the last few weeks, it's quite clear I've spent most of the time I've not been at work wandering the countryside. The weather's been good here, and I can't bear to be stuck in this dusty, half decorated house. After work, and at the weekend, I'm just desperate to go outside. This was a brief stop on the way back from a little market town with a friend. I've driven past here countless times, but never stopped and walked down the path a little way. A bit of clambering (and a bit of swearing) and we found ourselves quite high up and looking out quite a long way. Another day, we went to another market town looking for a new house. When we go somewhere new, we like to wander about and see what's close. I'd happily live near here. It was pretty hilly, mind you. Next, our trips took a less scenic (but more tasty) turn, with cake and a fair in a park. One evening after work, as the light faded, we headed out to the peak district. There was no epic sunset, and there were a party of scouts whose shouts echoed around the valley, but it was still peaceful. Yesterday the sun shone, and when a friend suggested a trip out after tea, we jumped at the chance. We hadn't eaten, so we took slices of pizza and a bit of cake, and found a 'beach' (or as close to a beach as we get round here) by a reservoir. We skimmed stones and watched as the sun set over the hills. Sometimes even just going out for an hour can feel like a rest. After work, it feels like a whole other day.
Of course, I really should spend some time in the house soon. It's not going to decorate itself after all. We've got a plasterer coming on Tuesday to do a final awkward bit, and I'll do a DIY update after that.
