early christmas

Had a lovely Saturday breakfast morning at Hathersage with good friends, a walk at Grindleford -- more breakfast at the station cafe -- love the signage there -- it says things like 'THIS IS A SERVING HATCH NOT A VIEWING GALLERY' and 'WE DON'T DO SCRAMBLED EGGS ON SUNDAY SO DON'T ASK'! Walked and talked some more. Healing in talking -- good stuff.

Then back over the hill to Sheffield for a bit of family Christmas. Lovely to have time with three generations of family and to eat good food. Went to see the Sheffield Phoenix and Hebrew Dictionary rooms at the Arts Tower and hear a bit about the changes going on there. Good food, good company.

This morning went to meet Onyx for the first time, a horse owned within the family. Fantastic to be able to ride on such a large creature -- it was my first full size horse ride ever -- managed to stop, start, and even managed three correct bounces on the trot! Loved it!
