Showing the boys a good time




We had visitors from France. Old family friends. How were we to entertain them? Here for one night, interested in art and eating...options included the Graves Art Gallery, Sheffield and good old Chatsworth. We did both.

We picked the boys up from Sheffield station, straight to the Millennium gallery Cafe for a very acceptable coffee. Then it was onto the Graves Art gallery, The Power of the Print: Leonard Beaumont. Such a great space, I'd forgotten, lovely images and a peruse of the impressive eclectic permanent collection. Mental note - go there more often.



Then into town to forage for food. We were met by troupes of Morris Dancers, a lovely sunny (although cold) afternoon. A perfect spectacle to entertain our boys. I think Leanne even found a new friend. The food foraging  was less successful, we ended up in Wagamama, which was OK but we could have been anywhere in the world. Everywhere else was full, thanks to the men and women with bells on their knees.

Back home, we gathered up the dogs and went up to Curbar Edge to catch the last of the light.


Up the next day for a stroll around Chatsworth and say "ey up" to a duck.
