Winter Walk

There comes a time at Christmas where the turkey and pud have to be walked off so we loaded Houdini hound into the car and took off for Oakamoor, where you can follow the path of the Churnet Valley Railway to The Rambler’s Retreat at Alton (yes, of ‘Towers’ fame!).

It was colder than a mother in law’s kiss on Monday, the Bank Holiday, or Boxing Day to give it its UK title. The sunlight through the trees, over frozen ponds,was extraordinary.
