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 !

"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.

Llandudno

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 !!

Silverdale, Lancaster

We spent an absolutely wonderful day...which was unexpectedly mild, considering we had only just thawed out since the snow!!
I could not believe how the sea appeared like a sheet of glass, hardly a ripple. We did go exploring along Silverdale to find the caves, and we didn't even need a coat !A really enjoyable day....

York/Scarborough.

We were still holidaying in York.....and my best friend and I decided to go to Scarborough for the day, although our journey was a bit thwarted by thick, dense fog
until we reached the coast-line, but well worth it.....there was Scarborough lanquishing before us in brilliant sunshine !! A trip to Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby
were a must too, especially as they were reasonably nearby. Another lovely day for this time of year.

York

A lovely midweek break was in order to dash our winter blues...so we headed off for
historical York. It was like stepping back in time as far as the buildings and old fashioned shops were concerned, from before The Romans to present time, all leaving their mark on this historic town and surrounding areas. There seemed to be evidence of history everywhere we went. These are just a few images.....to be continued !!
A truely magical place.

Autumn in The Lakes

It was another visit for us to the lakes, one of our favorite places.....this time I was hoping to get images of all the autumn colours. It was not very nice weatherwise,
it was somewhat misty and the threat of rain hung in the air, so a lovely day...but not for photography ! Although a lot of trees had started turning, I think it was a bit early, but I also did not want to leave it too late either. It would be nice for us to come back if we get a bit of snow....wait nd see !!
