Sheffield

We made a much aniticipated trip to my parents' today where, after a yummy bbq in their garden, we spent the afternoon at Forge Damn. They're right on the edge of the Peak District and this park joins a residential area with the countryside so is easily accessible but totally authentic without the man-made feel of some self-contained city parks. Isaiah had loads of fun running alongside the river, getting right up close to the waterfall, feeding the ducks, and exploring off the beaten track - playing in the woodland on bouncy fallen trees with Grandpa :) The air felt so fresh; I'd love to live somewhere like this, though it's apparently the third most expensive ward outside London!!
