"Walkabout"

On Sunday we spent a glorious day on the outskirts of Manchester. We went to meet number 2 son from the airport, returning from China. We walked up through the village to Alderley Edge  "a prominent ridge of land with a small village nestled against its western flank. Thousands of people visit the Edge each year having been drawn by the legends and history of Alderley Edge. There are many unusual sites nestled amongst the ancient trees and many of these are linked to the legend of the Wizard and his knights" more history here
Found a perfect little dwelling in a nice setting.

Urban walk

We went for a walk around this area of Nottingham called "The Park Estate". It is a very nice area with lovely houses and wide avenues and crescents. There are some more modern houses which are very well designed and sit well next to the existing architecture. These are a few resource photos I took for a workshop I am doing soon with an after school club. We are working with an architect on a design project. I am looking forward to it
