Eyam: Plague Village

Saving up means  making the most of living in the UK and visiting little places we haven't been before. Last weekend we went to Eyam, the plague village, argah. In 1665 it was discovered that some cloth that had been sent up from London to a local tailor was infected with the plague, so the village decided to isolate themselves to avoid spreading the disease. The village is beautiful, and I found my own humble hovel to live in:



















We also went to Castleton and discovered a fab looking 1950s style diner which I want to go back for! 




I also want to live in above coach house, it is for sale, just so you know. 


If only we had nice weather in the UK! It looks quite mild here, but it was ruddy cold.



However, being cold does not stop me from eating bubblegum ice cream till my lips go blue! Is it weekend yet?
