• Pavilion Gardens, Buxton

  
  Uphilldowndale — Authority: 425
  A quick fire post of the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton, resplendent in a cloak of snow. Snow always seems to catch the the gardens and the architecture of the buildings  in a good light. The Pavilion Gardens were first opened in 1871     I’m sure some one told me that originally there was an ...

  How do they know what will and won’t hold their weight?     Or is it that, being a duck they just don’t care about the consequences?   of all the birds pottering around the duck pond in the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton the other day this moorhen was my favourite, I think its feet are ...

• Derbyshire’s Christmas Playground

  
  Online Travel Blog — Authority: 121
  Derby Market place has been invaded by wooden sculptures for the festive period. Huge penguins, soldiers, cars, a train, a plane, even a bear. But these aren’t warriors from a strange dimension where people are made of wood, nor are they fiendish barbarians who attacked the city and were cursed to remain as statues ...

• December 24th

  
  Uphilldowndale — Authority: 425
  Another inch or so of snow fell last night. The Goyt valley is looking very fine, I was taken with how different species of trees shed their weight of snow. There are more snowy photos of the Goyt Valley here, from April 2008. We are very fond of happy baby stories in this house, so we all went ahhhhh, ...

• More snow in the air

  
  Collected Musings of a Hill Wanderer — Authority: 122
  Now, I know why it was a good idea to sit schtum on Sunday. This afternoon, I took a bus over the hills to find a Buxton constantly beset by snow showers. Even with my being shod in North Face Hedgehogs, a certain chill was felt as I negotiated soft and often slushy snow underfoot [...]

• And it Snowed Some More

  
  Uphilldowndale — Authority: 425
  More snow today, the boys wanted me to photograph their ‘snofa’, as the name might suggest a sofa like construction made of snow; as it was snowing horizontally at the time I declined to get the camera out. Spud thought it a wonderful thing, he leapt all over it and then had a pee on it,  so don’t sit on the ...

• Winter Woollies

  
  Uphilldowndale — Authority: 425
  A nice warm fleece, essential wear for such weather. The local flock were looking very photogenic in the warm light of the setting sun. The rougher the ground and more tussocks the better it seems; as they can turn over the snow to find food   Some were a little unkempt and weighted ...

• A good covering

  
  Collected Musings of a Hill Wanderer — Authority: 122
  I was out earlier this evening on an A to B trip on my bike when a shower of sleet came upon me, not a problem with my being appropriately attired. Even if I got snow, the lugs on my mountain bikes tyres would have coped; yes, they are staying inflated so far. Speaking of [...]

  Very cold last night, about –5c; snow forecast for this evening. (the steep narrow lane is sunken, to the right of shot)   Lots of birds out and about scratching around for food, including  filigree  flocks of redwings , flutteringly beautiful, but unwilling to pose for photographs.

• Dry weather promised; rain found

  
  Collected Musings of a Hill Wanderer — Authority: 122
  My last visit to Scotland was with tempered expectations but only visited voluntary dampness upon me. Sundays trot in Derbyshire was predicted to be dry but turned wet from the east when I might have been hoping for a bit more in the way of sun. Was it an example of the weather playing up at weekends [...]

• News that’s not so “new” anymore (or everything that has happened the last 6 months)

  
  PAE Olympiacos Syndesmos Filathlon Pireos — Authority: 109
  This might be the hardest part on the road to recovery: recapping everything that has happened since I fell off the face of the earth. There are some pretty big headlines, and then the meaningless ones, and then the sensationalized news stories – that are nothing but the adjective out in front. Nevertheless, the ...
