It's that time of year again folks. If by any chance you're in the Matlock Bath area this weekend 24/25th October, please call in to the Pavilion to cast your votes for the Pro Loco Photo and Arts competitions.
There are some great photos on show from local artists including the Clay Cross area. Voting in the Pavilion takes place on both days between 11am and 4pm. I'm sure they'd really appreciate your support.

This one popped up in my Facebook 'Memories' earlier.
Wingfield Manor, now an impressive ruins of a medieval manor house that was built in the 1440s for the wealthy Ralph, Lord Cromwell, Treasurer of England. Later the home of Bess of Hardwick’s husband, the Earl of Shrewsbury, who imprisoned Mary Queen of Scots here in 1569, 1584 and 1585.

Just a 'heads-up', if you like landscapes, it's almost that time of year when the 'Flame' trees on the Chatsworth Estate start putting on their annual show. The 'Flame' trees at the end of Paine's Bridge.

Early morning shoppers at the market day in Chesterfield. Still very quiet but it'll probably pick up a bit later.

Early morning at Kenning Park in Clay Cross. Really pleased this is my local and almost on the doorstep as it were.

Early morning at Cromford Mill pond. Managed a trip out and it was surprisingly quiet, except for the heavy traffic on the busy road at the side that is. What a contrast.

Clay Cross, what a difference a couple of cheap solar lanterns make to a garden. At least Buddy the Buddha seems to be enjoying the new lights.

Parkhouse Hill near Buxton

Together with its next door neighbour, Chrome Hill, they jointly form the feature known as The Dragon's Back.

Just a reminder that the Hopton Hall Rose Garden is open this month. From the 2nd to the 26th July. Really a great place to visit with lots of photo opportunities for all.
