All still with the old houses with plaques on the walls telling who died there. The Riley graves where the whole family died. The stones with holes drilled in that were ...

A bit cloudy but up in the Peaks the weather is up and down. Still a nice few hours spent ending up with an ice cream at Hathersage (where Little Johns grave is supposedly) waiting for the train home :) I have been their many years ago, they had the well dressing.

One taken up there yesterday, not quite sure of the ID although I probably should know.
