The weather forecast for this week was looking pretty dire - rain interspersed with thunder and lightning - so when Monday looked unexpectedly dry we seized the day and headed to Kedleston.
It turned out to be a lovely day. The sun came out, blue sky reflected in the lakes, and a gentle breeze blew. I thought it was just right, but the sheep still found it best to hide under trees in an attempt to keep cool!
From the Hall we ambled (because let's face it, I'm not hurrying anywhere) upstream, past weirs and lakes till we reached the steeping stones which are almost at the furthest extent of the grounds.
Here we crossed over, (very carefully but at least I didn't fall in) and headed back down the opposite bank of the stream. It's not a long walk but it's quite a lovely one, and there are geese, ducks and other wildfowl to be spotted along the way - plus the excitement of stepping stones!
