THE DUMMY RUN

On Halloween our ward had a picnic and bonfire at the home of one of the members that was located in an area called the Peak District. Having never been there before, and knowing that we would be traveling in the dark, we decided to make what our Bishop calls a dummy run. That is we drove out in the afternoon just to make sure we could find it. It was a beautiful autumn day and the scenery was gorgeous.
The roads were extremely narrow but we did find a place to pull over so we could take some pictures


My ineptitude with the camera definitely does not do the scenery justice but you can sort of get an idea of what it looked like.
There are miles and miles of these rock walls surrounding the pastures. They are constructed without mortor.

This sheep was wondering just what we were up to. The green hills are dotted with white sheep. I always thought that sheep went around in flocks but when they graze the spread themselves all over the pastures.
