A look back to the highlights of our Christmas weekend in Wirksworth December 2022

• Indescribably lovely views on the walk on Saturday
• The views from the top of Scarthin Rock
• Exploring the quaint shops in Wirksworth and doing a bit of Christmas shopping
• Sipping the warm mulled wine before the Christmas dinner
• My own personal guided tour of Cromford Mills
• An excellent Christmas dinner enjoyed with equally excellent company

Highlights from Darsham November 2022

• Learning we're walking over the top of a buried town on the outskirts of Aldeburgh.
• Enjoying a Fishers Gin distillary tour on a very wet Sunday afternoon. Sampling their wonderful gin and gin cocktails -      and being poured out afterwards!
• The impromptu mixed-doubles pool tournament at the hostel.
• Getting nearly blown off a windsept pier at Southwold. Seeing amazing rollers there and learning George Orwell had a connection to the place with the mural by 'Pure Evil' artist!
• Great ride on the tandem to Thorpeness.
• The antique place - like something out of Steptoe & Son.
• A very rainy exploration of Framlingham Castle.
• Staring longingly, unable to get into the smallest pub in the country - The Nutshell
• Our detour to Bury St Edmonds on the way home.
