February's Walk

On Friday with the temperature hovering around minus 4 degrees, thirteen of us set off for our walk from Smisby. We walked across several fields to reach Pistern Hill where we admired the view across to Calke Abbey. We carried on through Calke Park and took the road down to Dimminsdale to find the snowdrops were just beginning to come into flower. Despite the cold it was a beautiful day; there was no wind and not a cloud in the sky and everything looked so lovely covered in frost. We sat down to eat our lunch in the sunshine and then finished off our walk through South Wood and back into Smisby.
