The crisp morning air doesn't bother you. Not when the view is this good. A valley before you is just waking up with the sun. Crags jut out of the earth like children angry to have been disturbed so early. But there's a glimmer peaking out from behind the clouds and you're on your way to meet friends at your favourite cafe.
The staff there know to save you an almond-flavoured Bakewell pudding. Chaos would ensue if you went a Sunday without one. You hop in the car to go meet them, saying a casual good morning to the ever-opulent Chatsworth House as you cruise on by.
This is life in the Peak District. You feel blessed to live in one of England's best nature retreats. And those who come to visit feel no different. It's where they come to rejuvenate their bodies and souls. A great view and a sweet pudding go a long way in that regard. Perhaps you'll let them in on the secret.
