Family life in and around Hayfield. The Personal Statement Editing Service. A flurry of activity. Today saw a flurry of activity in the village in more ways than one…. As the sun broke through during the morning it was obvious this was not sticking around. Was I disappointed? Perhaps a little, but this was offset by the excitement generated by the arrival of none other than Davina McCall in the village as she made her way over to Edale as part of her Sport Relief Challenge. For the ten years we lived in ...

Family life in and around Hayfield. The Personal Statement Editing Service. Yesterday’s weather forecast predicted heavy snow, so I was not surprised this morning to look outside and see that the world was looking somewhat whiter than it had done yesterday. An early morning text for Dan and Sidney signalled their reprieve with their respective schools shut, but I had no such luck and set off for the slightly later bus. With the snow still falling I made my way, slowly, home. Blog at WordPress.com.

Family life in and around Hayfield. The Personal Statement Editing Service. When I posted last week we were preparing for our hideous gas fire to meet its demise. In the early hours of this morning I am very happy to report that our fire did indeed get helped into the next life. It is now sitting on the pavement outside our house waiting the arrival of the scrap merchant. This is what we are now left with…. Create a free website or blog at WordPress.com.

Family life in and around Hayfield. The Personal Statement Editing Service. Fun in the Snow. While it’s been one of the wettest winters on record, we have stuck to our Christmas vow to get the family out and about on at least one occasion over the weekends. We set off up Tunstead Clough to get the ascent over with first. Though it gives us something of a whinging start from Rufus, once it’s over with we know he’ll be like the proverbial Duracell bunny! Reports from those already heading down were that th...

Family life in and around Hayfield. The Personal Statement Editing Service. Film crew arrives in the village. Over the weekend a rather distracted husband asked whether travellers had moved into the village – he’d just seen the mass of trailers parked in the field adjacent to the Calico Trail – but things really picked up this morning as the film crew finally pitched up to start their location shoots. I’ll keep you posted. How do you cope with living somewhere that people want to visit? I can see that so...

About Me – High Peak Adventures
https://netherbeck.wordpress.com/about-me
Family life in and around Hayfield. The Personal Statement Editing Service. I’m a part-time teacher and mother to three very energetic boys. I’m an avid reader, and not-so-avid runner. I have also been known to have more than a passing interest in the consumption of real ale. As someone who spent her early childhood in rural Wales, with a husband whose idea of heaven is living under canvas, it was only a matter of time before we realised our dream of escaping to the country.

Family life in and around Hayfield. The Personal Statement Editing Service. I cannot stress how nice it was to get rid of the magnolia paint from the en-suite bathroom. Just a few months later we were in the position of being able to further ‘banish the bland’ and sort out the bedrooms of the older Barber boys. Blog at WordPress.com.

Family life in and around Hayfield. The Personal Statement Editing Service. A home from home. Who would have thought that choosing a colour could take so long! We had made things slightly more awkward for ourselves by finding the curtains that we wanted and then having to match the decor to those. Eventually, after much dabbing of tester pots on walls, we settled on a colour that we all liked and set to with a vengeance. This is why today was such a sad occasion for the village as the Post Office closed.

Family life in and around Hayfield. The Personal Statement Editing Service. A cold start to the day, with a fine layer of frost coating the road when we stepped out this morning. After the excitement of our first weekend in Hayfield came another novelty…the boys’ first day at a new school. Is moving day something to look forward to, or dread? When Friday 1st November – moving day – finally arrived, I wanted there to be something memorable happening to mark the occasion. What did we get? The morning passe...
