Buxton 10

It says that Buxton is only 10 miles, but you would not have made it in a car that day as the road was blocked just a few mile on.

Water water every where and not a drop to drink

This week it will be pictures of signs taken around the local area. This sign is on a pillar in the Holly bush pub in Denford, the line is above the level of the bar and when sitting down is just above my eye line.

Roaches ridge

The very edge of the main ridge with the tops of 2 very tall trees poking into view, if you look closely you can see that the snow over hangs the edge so i had to be very careful where i walked.

Onecote snow

A shot of the church in Onecote in the snow, although the main road through the village was clear it was still a bit of a hair raising journey getting there, but well worth it to see such a lovely spot in perfect conditions.
