52 Weeks of Happy - Week Nine

 I'm afraid I'm late again with this but there have been lots of little happy moments this week mainly due to the sunny weather, which seems to have abandoned us again, so here are just four little things that have made me smile this week

1. Duck on a wall by the stream at Castleton spotted on our walk up to Speedwell Cavern
2. Llamas near Alton Station on our walk from Oakamoor to Alton (see my last post)
3. Hellebore in the gardens at Felley Priory where we had lunch with friends
4. The reflection of stained glass windows on the box pews in St Edmund's Church, Castleton

I'll tell you more about our walk at Castleton and our visit to Felley Priory in later posts.

Link to the blog where  '52 weeks of Happy' started. Each week you find just four things that have made you happy to share.

    You have been busy! What a lovely week, I'll look forward to reading more about your visits soon. The weather certainly helped last week! Let's hope the sunshine soon returns.

    I've been invited to another interview this week - following my interview in Didsbury, I got through to the second interview for that one salaried place, so I'm going to the school on Tuesday for that!

      I think having the new car has broadened our horizons again, as well as the nicer weather! That's brilliant news, Louise - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, hope all goes well. Good luck:)

    What a beautiful hellebore! This really is their moment. And the (brief) sun was lovely this week; it was wonderful to feel the warmth.

      The sun has left us again now but it wasn't it great whilst it lasted?:)

    I think the reflection of the stained glass window is wonderful and I'd certainly be smiling. The ducks did it for me too. Look forward to seeing more of your walks.

      The shadows and reflections in that church were wonderful, we caught the angle of the sun just right:)

      We had one of the ordinary hellebores in our garden for quite a few years but it has now disappeared - I guess the last two bad winters have finished it off:)

    I love your photos of England and the title of your blog.

      Thank you, Ruth! It is of course from a song from a film called The Way we Were - 'memories light the corners of your mind' - I just changed one word:)

    A lovely collage of some happy moments. That is a pretty hellebore! Glad your time in Castleton was sunny. Looking forward to your photos, especially Speedwell Cavern. Have a good weekend, Rosie.

      Thanks, Linda! We didn't go into the cavern this visit I'm afraid so there won't be any photos of the inside - we didn't have enough time left on the car park to risk it:)
