Countryside Adventures

I absolutely love adventures to the countryside. I'm originally from Manchester, which most will know has absolute zero grass, greenery, or general countryside, therefore since moving to Sheffield I have found my love for the outdoors. Today I went exploring with Fred, we found the most beautifulest of views that I just have to share with you guys, we adventured out with a rucksack full of treats, the weather was beautiful, sun shining and sky blue. It was lovely and the most perfect day for a picnic. Although I've lived in Sheffield for almost 2 years now, there are still many place's I've never been, each time we decide to go exploring we come across new beautiful and wonderful places. Today we discovered a field of horses not far from where I live, some baby lambs which wouldn't stop yelping, (absolutely super cute), and so much open space where we enjoyed lunch sat in the beaming sun.

The lambs we spotted today were just the definition of spring, leaping and bouncy across the field chasing and playing with one another. I adore all animals, especially baby ones, so when I spotted theses along our adventure today I just had to stop and snap a few. The best part was that a public footpath lead directly through the center of the field they were in, therefore I had the perfect opportunity to picture them!

Another favorite of mine are horses, my ultimate dream would be to own one! So when we came across a field where we could casually walk through and pet the horses that were grazing there, I just couldn't help myself. They were gorgeous and super friendly.

Today was a beautiful day, and a lovely taster of the weather that is yet to come. Spring is well on its way and in my eye's everyone should make the most of it, we never have an absolute perfect summer, there's always a chance of rain and cloud, therefore I am now vowing to appreciate every warm day here in the UK, and make the most of it by doing small things I love, long walks, beautiful views, and of course searching for baby animals, or any animals for that matter! 

Last Weeks Visit To The Peaks

The Peak District is one of my all time favorite place's to visit, especially when the weathers good, which here in the north of the UK is extremely rare. I am also very lucky to live right near them in Sheffield. Since moving to Sheffield for university two years ago I have visited on many occasions, and each time I love discovering a new part of them. The peaks are so big every time I go I get to see and explore a whole new area. When I woke up last Tuesday and the sun was beaming through my window, I woke up my boyfriend and told him we must make the most of it. We packed up my car with snacks and water and headed towards the glorious peaks. We'd once visit a part of the peak district called Derwant Valley, last summer, it was so beautiful we thought we'd visit again. When arriving at Derwant Valley, it was my brilliant idea to rent bikes and cycle round the glorious lake, to my horror we was told the cycle track around the valley was 12 miles long, I was so tempted to change my mind and turn around! For me, someone extremely unfit, who never exercises and promises each week to start becoming more active, even a 5 mile cycle would be too much, nevertheless Fred persuaded me to continue and so I did. All 12 miles. 

Although it was a struggle, and at time I really did not think I would make it to the end, even thought someone would have to come and rescue me, I made it, and I was bloody chuffed when it was over. It was to be fair an absolute gorgeous day, and it has since pushed me to become more outdoorsy. Even if I did ache for 3 whole days after, it was worth it, worth the sore legs and the bruised bum from such a horrible hard bike seat, the views were incredible and I would highly recommend a visit.
