We will be taking my mum to The Maynard at Grindleford for her birthday and no doubt a wander round the park too.<BR/>RosieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224339203752133326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-49795308160728017962008-09-23T08:39:00.000+01:002008-09-23T08:39:00.000+01:00Thanks everyone for your lovely comments and I'm s...Thanks everyone for your lovely comments and I'm so glad you all enjoyed the walk:)<BR/><BR/>hello helen, thanks for leaving a comment and introducing yourself - I'm so glad that you have been enjoying the blog and especially the ones that bring back memories for you. It sound like you are going to have a great time on your canal trip and I hope you and your husband have a wonderful, restful holiday. Those shops at Trentham are great aren't they - also the stylish things they have in the garden centre too:) I hope you will keep popping back and perhaps comment again sometimes.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-12255410160748995002008-09-22T16:54:00.000+01:002008-09-22T16:54:00.000+01:00Hello Rosie, my name is Helen.

I must say I just love reading yours, and Pauls too, and am in the process of going back and reading it all, from the beginning! I love going for those walks with you in the country-side around Stoke, and into the peak district. Some of the places are familiar to me because my husband comes from Stoke, he was born and grew up in Trent Vale, and so it is a case of reminiscing. Sadly we haven't been up to the area for a couple of years now, my mother-in-law died in April 2006 and there are no other close relatives in the areas. The last time we took her out we went to Trentham, pushing her wheel-chair round the lake and the newly restored gardens before hitting the shops in the new retail site (well, I hit the shops, Bob and his mum sat outside). We have a narrowboat mid-week break booked for a few weeks time going from Gailey, along the shropshire union canal (I think) to Market Drayton. Bob is really excited because it is going through places he knows well, and I am excited because I shall be on a narrowboat. Keep up the good work, Rosie, and thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-17528767181394320932008-09-22T16:48:00.000+01:002008-09-22T16:48:00.000+01:00Thank you for taking us on this lovely walk with y...Thank you for taking us on this lovely walk with you. Yes, it must be fascinating to think of who walked these paths before, especially in an area so rich in history. The village looks so quaint and it must be an interesting place to live.<BR/><BR/>GillianHAWTHORN HALLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267330479127832616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-24890415671012867432008-09-20T23:01:00.000+01:002008-09-20T23:01:00.000+01:00I look forward to seeing 'The Duchess' and now I h...I look forward to seeing 'The Duchess' and now I have been able to view the estate before the film's release.<BR/> Thank you so much for the lovely tour of the English countryside.<BR/>SusanSusan McShannon-Monteithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525642217533620081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-2607477027194092522008-09-20T07:55:00.000+01:002008-09-20T07:55:00.000+01:00Another lovely walk thanks Rosie.

Usually only one person can pass through at a time and the reason given about the name is that when a courting couple come to the gate the man can go through first and hold the gate shut - demanding a kiss before letting his girlfriend to follow.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-24095140155191396232008-09-18T20:28:00.000+01:002008-09-18T20:28:00.000+01:00The English country side is so beautiful,wonder wh...The English country side is so beautiful,wonder why I go to spain..It was a lovely walk Rosie,i enjoyed it very much.So nice there is a film about me;)<BR/>Its on my list of "must see movies"<BR/>There is a little movie theatre in our town where we go to.I prefer watching movies at home..I hate the loud people,the comercials,big people sitting in front of you,(happens to me all the time)<BR/>Loved the picture of the autumn tree!Have a wonderful weekend...The Dutchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417068949346419906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-7494933933899371632008-09-18T19:52:00.000+01:002008-09-18T19:52:00.000+01:00As always when I read your posts, I look at the ba...As always when I read your posts, I look at the baby, and calculate how much effort it would take to get myself and her in presentable condition to go for a walk. Your post has inspired me again today.
