It’s been a good few years since we went on a package holiday, so really looking forward to our winter sunshine break! Hoping for some good photo opportunities too…

Day 15 – Not Long Now…

Day 14 – My Favourite Pub…
Not only is The Red Lion my favourite pub, but it’s also a brewery! The pub dates back to 1623 and the brewery was built on the site in 2010, brewing Slumbering Monk ale and Green Monkey craft lager. With great food too, it’s a popular stop on our walks in the area. 
Day 13 – Baring it all…
It’s only really at this time of the year that you see the true shape of trees without any leaves on at all, and I’m always amazed at just how twisty the branches of an oak tree are…
Day 12 – A Word To The Wise…
I’m no connoisseur, but definitely an enthusiastic gin drinker, so this sign at one of our local watering holes really hit the mark…
Day 11 – A Little Bit of History…
This is Moreton Corbet Castle near Shawbury, in Shropshire. A castle has stood on this site since around 1100 a.d. and these ruins are the remains of a grand stately home dating from the late 16th Century. 
Day 10 – What a Difference…
… a day makes. After the glorious sunset yesterday, today’s weather couldn’t have been any different. It started off dull and overcast, then a heavy mist with drizzle seemed to overtake the whole landscape, blotting everything out and making driving difficult. Let’s hope for better tomorrow. 
Day 9 – At The End Of The Day…
This afternoon saw me at The Roaches, the southern-most point of the Peak District National Park, and closest spot to us. Although cloud was forecast, there was just enough clear sky to make a decent sunset photo. I have a couple of good iPhone shots, but my Sony camera really excels in these conditions. 
Day 8 – A Bridge Too Far…
… actually a bridge ‘to Farndon’. Built in 1339 (yes, 1339) this bridge crosses the River Dee, at this point the border between England and Wales. Only wide enough for one car at a time to cross, traffic is controlled by lights. 
Day 7 – Old Methodist Chapel…
When we moved to the area, this was a Methodist Chapel, but was abandoned soon afterwards due to lack of use. For a while it was a furniture workshop, but looks pretty run down now with an old caravan dumped outside. I wonder what the future holds for this old building? 
Day 6 – Beware! Frogs crossing…
I’ve probably travelled this road twice a day during the 10+ years we’ve lived here, but can honestly say I’ve never seen a frog crossing the road. Maybe one day…
