Despite the best efforts of the orange man-baby in the White House, the world’s still here, so our day trip to Derbyshire is still on! In a humiliating climbdown, Trump has agreed to a two-week ceasefire brokered by Pakistan. His war has been a disaster for America’s reputation and exposed him for what he is, an ignorant, lying narcissist who’s been outmaneuvered by Iran at every turn. Not a single war objective has been achieved, but the moron will still declare ‘victory’.

But enough of politics for now. The sun’s shining and it’s time to pack, ready to head off to Edale and ‘carpe diem’. I’ll update this blog when we’re on the move.

I’ve a small favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this or any of the other blogs I’ve written, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course – although if you did find something that tickled your fancy that would be fab! – but the revenue from them helps me to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site (which isn’t cheap and comes out of my own pocket). Remember, 99% of the pictures used in my blogs can be purchased as prints from my other website –  https://paulbigland.zenfolio.com/

Cheers,

Paul
