Lyme Park, Nr. Buxton

My other half and I decided to go to Lyme Park...which was extremely expansive, I don't think you could go round it all in one day. Although there was no snow where we are, I was amazed how much snow there was at Lyme Park.....children were out sledging down the hills, memories ! It was just getting dusk, when, to our amazement we came across the Stags....what a truley wonderful sight, and I was so pleased I took an image before the light failed completely.....Wonderful day !

Halstead, Kent

I have just returned from a visit to see my son "down south" and was amazed to get these images at the back of his garden. I think they most definitely get a different weather forecast than we do up here !!I have now returned...... to leaveless tree's, and a fairly barron garden, although on the bright side.....the stinging nettles and weeds have all died off !

Remaining Apples

"The Eyes" nature reserve

It was a lovely day......so a walk with my son and Grand-daughter seemed like a good idea. I have no idea what sort of frog it was (or indeed a toad) so if anyone else has any idea, I would be pleased to know.

Just a few images taken at Llandudno.....unfortunately most of the day was spent dodging the rain, even though it was quite warm.

Lymm Dam, Cheshire

A lovely afternoon walk to Lymm Damm....practically on my doorstep, but a first for me. It was a very gloomy day, although not that cold. I will certainly try to get back here on a sunnier day...it has great potential.!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.
Owing to the weather and usual winter virus's I have not been out and about of late.
So it was very nice to go to Goathland, although it was a drizzily day.
As we are fans of the series "Heartbeat" it was lovely to actually see where they had filmed it.....all we needed was some 60's music belting out from the car radio !!
