Out In The Peak District

I am very blessed in living in Sheffield. Although there are other places I would rather live if I were choosing where to live, Sheffield is still a lovely, beautiful place. It is also next to the site of Britain's first national park, the Peak District. It is a wonderful place, stretching most of the way between Sheffield in South Yorkshire and Manchester in Lancashire, taking in parts of Derbyshire and incorporating the Derbyshire Dales too. If you go a little further north, there's the Yorkshire Moors, the Lake District to the west and the North Yorkshire Moors to the east. It is a beautiful place and one that I really should take more time to explore.

Longshaw Estate, near Grindleford, Derbyshire

Yesterday I went with a few other people from my University for an evening barbeque on the Longshaw Estate, near Grindleford in Derbyshire. It was rather cold when the sun wasn't out, but thankfully the sun was out most of the time we were there. It's wonderful to be able to go out and to just enjoy places without having to worry about writing 20,000 words of research, of the five exams you have to take the next week, or the essay that you understand absolutely nothing about, or the group presentation that your group are showing no interest in. No, I can just relax - for now.
