Leek in Staffordshire Moorlands

One of the loveliest places in the UK.  Unspoilt, unpretentious and beautiful countryside around- love Wetley Rocks and the old Catholic college nearby
The town does seem a  bit run down though and charity shops abound.  But a very kind place to be and I can never understand why tourists don't seem to favour these places.  It is far prettier than many of the Derbyshire villages and towns

Covent Garden and Spring feels closer

We decided to go into Covent Garden just for a change and came across this beautiful wistful music from the Chinese musician.  The music felt lonely and you could imagine someone exercising in a huge landscape- at times then it just felt great to have someone you love by your side.
Spring feelings are not just for the young. 
I never much like Covent Garden as it all seems a but phoney but the musician struck me as plying much the same sort of trade as people must have done many years ago
