A little reminder that I have produced a beautiful hardback book of my photographs and words, 152 pages of Peak District inspiration, presented seasonally. It makes a perfect present or a treat to curl up with on dark evenings. 🥰

If you need a mental break from the crime and fraud and fear in your timeline, stand beside me on this lane. You can smell the damp, rich earth, hear the gentle patter of leaves drifting down, and feel the soft mist on your face. I hope that’s better now.

I saw a mention in the news today of early snow forecast for the UK, so I wanted to take the opportunity to re-share this photograph taken in mid November 2024. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen snow against such bright autumn leaves, a wonderful crossover of seasons right before my eyes. The colours of this lane have stayed with me, and I hope you don’t mind me sharing them again. I kind of hope we get a (brief) repeat of such beauty?!

I'm quite frankly showing off here, with not just one but two gates. This lovely path leads into the peace of Tideswell Dale, surrounded on all sides by steep limestone cliffs and now full of the most stunning autumnal colours. Who could resist the click and creak at the start of this walk?!

On a still morning, sitting by the froth of Burbage Brook as it tumbles through Padley Gorge, you can't help feeling that you've somehow fallen into a different world ... perhaps when you tripped over that tree root. Here, there's no haste or pressure, no noise but the constant rush and bubble of water and the occasional fall of a leaf. I find that I always stay long, long after I've taken the shot, losing track of time, just watching and listening and breathing it all in, so grateful for such places and the chance to fall into them.

This is the view that will be bringing autumn peace to your wall throughout November if you managed to snap up one of my 2026 Peak District Calendars. My 2027 Calendar is still available but I'm now running low on stock - so if you would like one for only £10.95 + UK P&P please see the link in the comments below or in my bio. Thank you.
