I bet the Roman soldiers that were sent there must have thought they were still in Italy, but am told that they were not necessarily Italians. It’s a lovely quiet corner and great for a Summer walk. I can’t wait to get out there again. Anyone spotted the sunny theme running amok through my blogs? I’ll keep them going. Continue reading Sunny delight

November image of one of my very favourite subjects: sheds. This one on the top of the Cotswolds. Continue reading Before the Sun turned watery.

This was in late summer, on the same walk we came across this lovely scene which is where one imagines elves and their like come out to play at night. No, I have n’t been ‘on anything’ Continue reading Derbyshire saves the day, and yet more sun.

Someone should have asserted themselves and said: “Don’t listen to him, he’s premanently optimistic” We were only a few miles off course, of course.
