Wild and wet in North Derbyshire

We all moan about the rain but WOW did it bucket down yesterday! It didn't stop us enjoying our day out in Wildest Derbyshire yesterday :o)










The top photograph is my daughter planted there just to give perspective when looking out from Curbar Edge. The scenery from up there is just magnificent.
Next one down shows clearly that while we think we have too much rain, there isn't a full quota in the Derwent dams!
I just had to include the ducklings, aren't they so sweet. It was fascinating sitting in the car eating our hot dogs and watching these cute little balls of fluff running around in the pouring rain :o)
Last but not least is the magnificent Derwent Dam where the legendary Dambusters practiced dropping the bouncing bombs in WW2
