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.

My first visit to Thornbridge Hall which is just a short distance from Ashford In The Water. Quite a few photo opportunities around the house and some good walks too. Best of all, pretty good value entry.
