I was in Wirksworth (Derbyshire) earlier this evening to see a film at my favourite cinema. After a couple of hours inside, I felt a real sense of joy walking out of the cinema at 9:30 to the fresh air and a still-light-evening...
I was really excited to be outdoors - there was a lovely atmosphere - it felt calm and peaceful and I was loving the cool air and the light breeze (perhaps it was just the effect of a pint of Dunkerton's black fox I'd had*, but I was so happy to be outdoors!)... My lift home* wasn't yet in sight, so rather than stand about at the roadside, I decide to enhance my enjoyment of the evening by walking up The Dale (a very steep, very narrow lane) to the StarDisc. I love the StarDisc!
I love it even more when I'm the only person there. I'm always happiest when I have places to myself, just me and the wildlife!
As darkness fell (and my lift arrived in Wirksworth) it was time to head home but I so enjoyed my little bit of evening spent outdoors :)
*I usually have to drive to Wirksworth as I live a few miles away but my car is a little bit broken so I'd had to arrange a lift to the cinema and home again and was therefore able to enjoy a favourite cider - bonus! - I usually drive myself everywhere so don't usually get to drink!
Nice post Louise. I like that Star Disc, it looks nice at dusk. I know what you mean about having the outdoors to yourself, I'm like that myself.
ReplyDeleteI love having places to myself too - doesn't happen very often. I love the Star Disc and would love to see it at night - it looks wonderful in your photos as does Wirksworth. Hope you enjoyed the film:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice spot, and to have a few moments on your own...lovely.
