Hey Blog! One thing I haven’t really talked about is where I live, so today I’m going to tell you.
Those readers who live in Derbyshire (where I live, and have for nearly five years – wow, five years!) may have guessed that I live somewhere near them. I live just to the north of Belper, which is great for home-edders as Belper has one of the best home ed communities in the area! Covid kind of scuppered a few of our groups, and has caused others to stop running temporarily, and not start up again yet. There’s a Games club, and Craft group, Eco Group (mentioned in a previous post), regular “Woods meet-ups”, Home-ed Drama, and then more which are not exclusively for home-eddders, such as Scouting, Drama and Cricket.
Derbyshire also has places for nature, something really important to me. I have seen many animals and birds I did not even know existed before we moved here. I used to be interested in hawksbill sea turtles when I lived in Barbados, then it was glossy starlings in Ghana, here it’s badgers! Plus, there are awesome history sites around here, such as Peveril Castle, Cresswell Crags and Arbor Low.
