Christmas at Chatsworth House 2022
Christmas at Chatsworth House 2022 These past few years I have been all about creating new traditions at Christmas, and this place is somewhere that I visited first last year and was so impressed with it, as soon as tickets became available, I had to buy one for this year before they sold out. Fast […]
RHS Bridgewater – Glow Event
RHS Bridgewater – Glow Event I went to RHS Bridgewater a couple of times last year, however I missed the notification about this annual even at the time. This year, I became a member of the RHS and as a result got early notification about the event, so booked my tickets. On a cold (-4) […]
Arley Hall at Christmas
Arley Hall at Christmas I had never been to Arley hall before and on my continuing quest to get into the spirit of Christmas I decided this was a good place to start as the downstairs section of the property was decorated (briefly) for the season. Shortly prior to this visit I had been to […]
The Moor’s Murders – The Victims
The Moor’s Murders – The Victims Around Manchester, there is an event that hangs over the area that most people, no matter where they are based in the UK (or perhaps the world) will have heard of and that is the Moor’s Murders. There has been a lot covered around this topic, so I am […]
Ghosts in the Garden, York
Ghosts in the Garden, York York is in my top three places in the UK which I love to visit and I tend to get up there three or four times a year and each visit seems to bring something new for me to see. More often than not, I end up at the Minster, […]
Mannakin, Lincoln
Mannakin, Lincoln This has to be one of the oddest places I have ever visited, probably THE oddest place if I think about it (yes…odder than Chernobyl!), but odd in a good way as it was something totally different to what I would normally venture out to photograph. If we lived in America, I guess […]
National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire
National Memorial Arboretum Whilst heading down to a street art festival in Leicester I passed some sign posts pointing me to the National Memorial Arboretum, which was a place that had been high on my “to visit” list for far too long, so I made a note to call in if I had time at […]
Tatton Park, Cheshire
Tatton Park, Cheshire After a break from the ongoing decorating back at home base and short of ideas as to where to go on a rather nice warm May day, I decided to make use of the National Trust membership, which I often seem to forget I have and went to a place local to […]
Lakes of the Lake District
Lakes of the Lake District As a continuation of the great 2021 staycation and the need to use up my last remaining holiday days at work, I decided to have a few days away up at the Lake District, primarily because it had been a couple of years since I had been to on of […]
Another Place, Crosby
Another Place, Crosby This is one of those places that has been on my ‘to-visit’ list for a number of years, however time always gets in the way and it has never happened. Fast forward to Mid-March and after almost visiting a couple of weeks prior, a mate contacted me to say they were heading […]
