At the end of August I went away with my mum for five days to the Peak District. Here are some of the highlights.
We visited the Tram museum at Crich.

Normally I would do this in a couple of posts but it is October and I am very late with my posts.....I still have some lovely things to share with you from September!
The peak district is gorgeous Lyn and your photos are breathtaking. Thank you for sharing them, I hope I can visit there one day.
ReplyDeleteSuch great things here Lyn. The tram museum reminded me of the Beamish Museum in Co. Durham. I have to say the old oak door has to be my favourite though. I am rather partial to a good door! Take care. xx
ReplyDeleteI've just realised your blog loads up quicker on my phone than the iPad.
ReplyDeleteI like the cat gate and the well dressing is fantastic. I saw it in Marple some years ago. I'm going to put thus trip on my to do list. Thanks Lyn xx
All favourite places of mine, especially Haddon and Cromford, so it was lovely to see them through your eyes. Glad you enjoyed your stay in the Peak District:)
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love your photos! I would love to visit some day, but that is just a dream!

Such wonderful and interesting places. I would have loved a wander around the book store and I adore the gate with the cat 'cut out'! Thank you for sharing such a lovely postcard! !
ReplyDeleteDitto booput! I especially enjoy your photos that show the little details, the door lock, for example, or the window pane.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to take a trip with your Mother, I was never able to, we lived too far apart. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely places visited :) Eyam's recquisition horses dressing was one of my favourites out of them all this year! I toured all the Staffordshire and Derbyshire well dressings between May and September, something I've wanted to do for years, and mananged to visit most of them! They're all blogged, with the label 'well dressing' and a couple of posts includes timelapse videos of the well dressings being made.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I've never seen a well dressing 'in the real', your close up photos do do them justice they look amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI adore the Peak District and try to get up there at least once a year. Seeing your pics makes me want to get planning another visit soon.

You really did pack in a lot didn't you! I love the gate with the cat shaped hole. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us on such a great (blog) tour. Loved the well dressing, I've never seen it for real. Must do one day.
ReplyDeleteLyn your photo's are wonderful. Many of my paintings are inspired by Derbyshire's landscape. Glad to know you were here. Do come and visit me next time you are around Derbyshire. Xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic. I just love the old buildings and history there. Had to look up well dressings as I had never heard of them. So very beautiful. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteOh! The scratching on the glass! I just saw something like that around here and wondered if it is the same there. Here the story goes that a girl wrote her fiancé's name in the glass with her diamond ring to be sure it was really a diamond. Is this the same for you?
ReplyDeleteWe had a laugh talking about what if the fiancé passes on his mother's ring and it doesn't scratch the glass.
Some of my very most favourite places. You got to see all the best bits. xxxx
ReplyDeleteIt was so lovely to see all my favourite places in your pictures as we have hardly been into Derbyshire at all this year because of all our 'events'. We had a couple of hours in Buxton this weekend for a break. Haddon is one of my favourite places - they have a wonderful display of Clematis and one in particular a deep purple called Lucy which I have been trying to track down to buy for years with no success - it actually looks like the one in your photo. I didn't know though that Eyam Hall had passed to the National Trust - I remember going on the timed tour years ago when the family took you round.
ReplyDeleteWhat a feast to the eyes these pictures are. I've always wanted to visit Eyam.
