English country side

Finally after living here for six months we finally took our first journey to the English countryside. The key word is WE.

Simply put it was a fantastic Saturday. D was up early and made French toast - yum! Cleaned the house together, went and got his UK cell phone, and then off to my yoga class. After yoga we stopped off at Unicorn to pick up some food for the road trip. I have learned my lesson not to travel with some food that I like. We were off to the Peak District. I really had no idea where to go so we just drove. Sometimes it's good not toto have a final destination. We ended up in a small town called Dewsberry, which did not feel like an English village at all. Here's why:


It was a community of people from Kashmir, complete with their own bazaar. As we walked through the town it didn't feel as if we were in England at all. It was a great suprise and we enjoyed walking around and people watching.





After a cup of tea and coffee we took off again.










We changed the sat nav for the return drive home so that we were not on the motorway. This turned out to be my favorite part of the trip. At one point we stopped off and went for a short walk and took some pic's. What a gorgeous day.


Cannot wait for our next outing!
