In the deep of winter these little cottages in Castleton seem to hunker down and huddle together beneath the misty hills, and the lamplight shines through the longest nights to beckon you safely in out of the dark. #peakdistrict
Only 1 day to Christmas in my mini advent calendar, and I had to end on a gate! Standing here felt like peeping into a fairytale. I got very snowy, but every branch glittered, every tree shone, and I hardly dared breathe for fear of breaking the spell. Happy Christmas Eve!
7 days to Christmas in my mini advent calendar, sharing my own favourite festive #peakdistrict shots. As I passed this dark pine wood I watched a spotlight of sun pouring through the trees. It lit up a tiny beech sapling, turning it into a flame of colour and light in the gloom.
Sometimes it doesn't matter where the road leads. All that matters is the first glimpse of daybreak rushing up the valley and trickling along the verges to light up the hedgerows. Sometimes all that matters is the spring in your step as you walk up the hill to meet the morning.
