Mallards take a family stroll
 
 We walked around the lake and then sat and ate sandwiches for lunch before heading home.  We had to sit in the car overlooking the lake as it was very windy.
 
The River Dove flows by the lake.
 
We called at the lake after visiting Cheadle and the Denstone Farm shop.  I'll write more of those in a later post.  I also have to tell you about Sunday's carnival in our little town.
 
All for now.
