Sara and I went to Sheffield today to visit my old childhood buddy Ian and his lovely wife Margaret.
We took a ride together into the Derbyshire Moors and passed some lovely countryside…
We stopped here
We then continued on to a town called Bakewell and when Sara found out this town for known for it’s local dessert called Bakewell tart, she had to sample!!!
We had our photo taken here by the waitress…
Yes Ian and I are the same age and YES he has dark hair!!!!!!! Which he did mention more than once.
On the way back Ian drove by the street where I used to live as a young kid and we stopped and I got out for a photo op…..
as Sara was taking this photo I noticed a lady by the side of the house and I just asked her if it was OK for me to have a photo as I used to live here as a child. She absolutely threw me when she asked me if I was a Pearson of the Salvation Army. I said yes and she told me she bought the house from my parents 41 years ago!!!!!! How she still remembered our family name is incredible.
We had a great visit and thanks Margaret and Ian for lunch and a wonderful stroll down memory lane.
When we were on our travels last week I picked up this card from one of the B & B’s…
Now this is one for the archives you will not see this again!!!!
So ends another one of many of those incredible days we have….not many more days left before we leave on Friday…
