Hope is a thing with feathers

A phrase I have never understood.

A weekend away with Angela, at a CL called Farfield Farm, at Hope near Castleton. Lovely views but really overpriced. Arrived in the dark and nearly got stuck in the wrong field.

Next day we went down for coffee and cake at a local church schoolroom, then a drive up Winnet's Pass to the Chestnut otter and owl sanctuary.













Finally, down to Castleton for a browse of the shops, followed by ham, eggs and chips. Perfect.
