Our Derbyshire Weekend ♥ part 2

Hello Lovelies, 

Waking in a strange bed always leaves me slightly disorientated. Where am I? what day is it?

What a lovely feeling it was seven days ago, to work out it was Sunday and I was still in lovely Derbyshire.

And what a wonderful surprise to open the curtains and see a beautiful mist on the fields.........

And Mrs Pheasant sitting on the dry stone wall........

How I would love this sort of view all year round.........

I didn't want to miss a minute of this fleeting Autumn morning beauty, and soon couldn't resist going out to get another angle for my pictures :0)

It was about 7.30am and the sun had not quiet risen. How I loved the mysterious and romantic atmosphere the haze created........

Around the back of our hotel I found a gate way........

Where I stood in the still, chill air and waited for the sunrise.........

The fog hung in the valley..........

And I played around with my camera, trying to get a nice shot of the lovely old dry stone wall.......

Oh, here comes the sun.........

and, in the other direction, here comes a lone cow..........

I said good morning to number 256 ( that's the number on her ear tag )  as she got closer..........

Then noticed birds that I though might be Crows taking flight. Their chattering call didn't sound quiet right and I now think they must have been Jackdaws...you can listen HERE...........

Turning back I could see my new friend was quiet close and seemed restless....and something was visible under her raised tail....oh, maybe she was about to give birth?

As the sun rose I felt rather concerned for her.......

 she headed off into the mist and I hoped the birth was straight forward,  or at least that the farmer would check on his herd very soon......

Breakfast was a relaxed affair in the lovely stone pub next to our hotel........

We were eating by eight am, and were actually the first guests down for breakfast. I didn't want to waste any of the beautiful morning.

We sat in a window seat and I wondered about that cow..........

I even dragged hubby back to the gateway to try and see here....but no luck....back in our room...still no sign....

Then, as we packed our bags back in our room we heard voices outside. A farmer on foot and one in his land rover were coming to help  cow number 256.........

Yay. What a great omen for the day ahead.

Do come back soon lovelies, to see how it turned out :0)
