Hello again. My blog has been quiet lately because two weeks ago I relocated to Derbyshire. This morning I took a short but dramatic and rewarding stroll, following The Limestone Way to a well placed seat overlooking Matlock. These images show my return walk down the hillside. It was good to fill my lungs with fresh, clean air and see the early autumn berry jewels in the bushes and trees. I imagine this walk will become a go-to when a quick nature reboot is needed before settling down to the working day.
