Xmas Post 2009!

Well Im sure we will come back this coming year with more posts than in the last few months!! It's been a difficult time, but now Hannah has a new Digital SLR (thanks Si!) and Simon is still developing his well honed skills, we should have lots of new photos. Below are Hannahs first photo efforts with the new camera (lets hope we dont drop this one between us!!)

We have had more snow than I can ever remember this christmas in the UK - usually we have a day in February, but we have had snow on and off for a few weeks now - I love it! So when the snow was on the ground over christmas, we headed off to the peak district with our cameras. The first few pictures were pointing south towards Chapel-en-le-Frith. The sky was a little more pink at the side of the road. Have to work on that.

We headed to the road that runs beside Mam Tor and towards one of the caverns that you can visit and go underground, although this is closed at christmas. I spied two blackbirds and attempted to get some pics!

This is the view west from Mam Tor - it is possible to follow the path to the left of where Im standing and walk roughly where the dark line of trees are in the picture, but the path was a little slippy - I did see one person making this walk though.

This is Mam Tor - it is possible to walk up to the top fairly easy but it was far to cold!!!

Plus the sky was starting to go dark with snowy clouds, so we decided to start the drive home.
