With my blood flagging up diabetes like a flashing light on a police car, I need to keep getting out exercising which for me can only mean walking. At one o'clock in the afternoon, I parked Clint at Leadmill near Hathersage and set off on a two hour walk that took me to Mount Pleasant Farm, High Low, Offerton Hall and then back down to the Derwent riverside path that led me all the way back to Leadmill.

In other Yorkshire Pudding news, something nasty happened at the weekend. Frances, Stewart and their little daughters were down in the Bristol area visiting Stewart's parents. For a special treat, they all went to an adventure farm in the countryside. They had just emerged from a maze made from high hedges. Margot, who is now eighteen months old, had been left stationary in her pushchair (American: stroller).
She was strapped into the pushchair but she must have leant over somehow and the pushchair toppled over. I think it had been "parked" on uneven ground. Anyway, she bashed her head on the ground before her parents could grab her. There was blood and she was understandably screaming - very distressed.
At the adventure farm, medical staff checked her out and then she was taken to a nearby NHS minor injuries unit. She had a concerning bump on her forehead, a grazed chin and she had bitten into her lip and mouth. By all accounts she was quite a mess but there didn't appear to be any major injuries.
We got to see her late on Sunday afternoon and she was in good spirits but because of the soreness in her mouth, she was very reluctant to tuck into her Sunday dinner with her customary gusto. It is highly likely that she will recover fully from this horrible incident and before too many days have passed, it will just be part of her history. Something she survived. I hope so.
She is such a sweet child with a ready smile, strutting around like she owns the place and beginning get to grips with the English language. I hope her teeth have not been damaged. Apparently one of them is "loose" though Shirley and I have not seen that.
