Derbyshire is really not too far from home for us, so we went tootling off there with a couple of friends for the weekend. We stayed here for BandB and received a real welcome in the cold and dark - a roaring log fire, squashy sofas, bouncy big puppy and our host even laid on Scotland beating Australia at rugby! What more could we ask. We'd spent a rather damp day at Chatsworth , but escaped the rain...

Yesterday, at a specialist children's bookshop on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, I picked up a book of pieces by Alison Uttley. They dealt with her childhood home of Cromford in Derbyshire. It put me in mind of an item I read in the Guardian in the summer, having performed the not inconsiderable feat of finding a twee, hippyish coffee shop in Desborough. That item dealt with Alison Uttley's behaviour at a...

What it is: Fancy a home in the Peak District? Lane Side Barn is a single room, with a wooden ladder leading up to an attic on the upper floor, and an adjoining derelict barn. The auctioneer says it could be converted into a two-bed cottage. It’s a risky business, though: there is no planning permission and obtaining it could be difficult as the barn lies within a national park. Situated in Rowland,...

Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement, once said that if she, in hospice terms, was the Archbishop of Canterbury, then my father, Eric Wilkes, was the Archbishop of York. Eric, who has died aged 89, opened St Luke's hospice, Sheffield – the first modern unit outside London as well as the first day hospice – in 1971. He was co-chairman (1984-93) of the national charity...

Friday 6th November As rain was forecast this afternoon we left home early to do a caching walk at Ticknall. We parked behind the village hall in Ticknall and walked towards Calke Abbey, before we got to the drive we turned left and walked towards the new plantation and headed towards Vees wood. We had a diversion to find the first cache and then followed the path through the new woods. It was quite...
