Maybe our house bricks haven't warmed up yet!!<br /><br />Linda xxCrystalMoonCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903091876032634142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-32049965971184570242013-04-11T14:15:52.524+01:002013-04-11T14:15:52.524+01:00That would be very nice, thank you.

The big scale ones have quite a lot of detail on them, knowing where the field edges and electricity pylons are is very useful for confirming your location.

Here is a little explanation from Wikipedia.<br /><br />The Dark Peak is the higher, wilder northern part of the Peak District in England.<br />It gets its name because (in contrast to the White Peak), the underlying limestone is covered by a cap of Millstone Grit which means that in winter the soil is almost always saturated with water. The land is thus largely uninhabited moorland plateaux where almost any depression is filled with sphagnum bogs and black peat. <br /><br />The Peak District is in Derbyshire, and is made up of two different types of landscapes. The Dark Peak looks black, and the White Peak looks erm, white. The dark is in the north, the white in the south.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-4743692547571179002013-04-11T11:54:56.468+01:002013-04-11T11:54:56.468+01:00Glad you got your maps sorted out...lots more walk...Glad you got your maps sorted out...lots more walks in store for us now....YEAH!!!VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-38706389785128587492013-04-11T08:30:49.766+01:002013-04-11T08:30:49.766+01:00Reminds me of your precious post...

Yesterday I bought some daffs for £1.00, it felt decadent but they really cheered me up so worth it! <br />It really does feel warmer outside, inside still wearing thick socks and layers to keep warm. But the shops why are they so hot, had to take a friend shopping the other day, she wanted things in four different shops and each one was boiling the heating seemed to be on so high, it does not feel healthy and we just wanted out! Love all your country walking pictures.

No contest, the map wins hands down.<br /><br />Isn't it lovely to see the spring flowers, but I wish the weather would catch up. I don't know how to dress from one day to the next. In town today I have seen people in summer clothes, my fleeces will be around until it warms up a bit more.Sals Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983803420404095685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-46184483515175838022013-04-10T22:41:32.790+01:002013-04-10T22:41:32.790+01:00Flowers are woodland daffs I think :-) we have lot...Flowers are woodland daffs I think :-) we have lots in our wood and they are wonderfully scented - they smell divine if you pick some - but only if you have permission of course as they are protected ( like Bluebells are as well) <br /><br />If you would like some bulbs I could send you some to grow? as we have lots in the area we are about to excavate ( and loads elsewhere so not to worry!)
