We've had a busy few weeks with trips to Kent for dad's birthday dinner (75 years) and then back again as John's mum was in hospital.
Dad came up for a visit and we had a trip to Long Eaton for a walk along the canal -we were quite lucky with the weather but on the way home it started pelting with rain. We sat in the car for a while before we could run in doors. We later discovered that our 40ft pear tree had blown over in the wind, luckily not damaging anything except a row of broad beans.
On Saturday the weather was dreadful so we went to Bottesford in Nottinghamshire so dad could take some photos. We read about the Belvoir Angels which are gravestones which were carved by the same stonemason on Swithland slate. The gravestones are local to this area of Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. Quite interesting and we will certainly look out for them in our rambles.
