Dave had to sleep on the air mattress in the playroom, it was funny when I made the kids go in and wake him up. It was like being at my brother’s house with kids waking up early to play before breakfast. After breakfast we headed to Hathersage. I had found online a walk that covered the Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen and Little John sites. Unfortunately Dave’s ankle was bugging him, so we just walked up and down main street, which has the George Inn where Charlotte Bronte used the pub owner’s name, Morton, in Jane Erye.
A look up the main street in Hathersage.
Street sign in Hathersage. They actually have a swimming pool, there's not too many of them here in England.
We were in time to go to the Farmer's Market, but they are not the same as in the US.
We didn't stay for the show, but we will have to come back next year.
Which way? Hathersage or Eyam?
After that we went to Eyam. When the plague came to England in 1665 the town of Eyam was wiped out except a few. I saw a PBS special about this town and a genetic mutation the survivors had. They happened to have a town festival and it was busy, so we didn’t stop we just drove through and took pictures.
They had floats and everything.
I think the Peak District is my favorite place in England so far. Now I know why the Brontë’s and Jane Austen wrote about it!We have more adventures planned, Dave wants to go to Paris in October.
