Summer, hawthorn flowers, the unknown, good walks and the mighty Liathach where you find "hills going into infinity."

There are wild flowers up there. Which after a simple climb I can enjoy and photograph. Derbyshire, one of many lovely parts of the country.

@jk_rowling @CormStrikeFan Seen in a library many weeks ago. Thought nah, she's not interested in that. But I am. Look at the world you created for children. Off topic, I know, but still.
