Have just returned from a week in the Derbyshire Dales where a group of us went to take photographs. What a fantastic week it was, too, from a weather point of view?
The cottage we stayed in in Eyam was fantastic with every facility you could wish for! Three of our number were mad photographers - and the other two were Morgan car nuts!
There was a big Morgan weekend in Buxton which my husband went to in the company of one of the others (Julia Woolgar who owns a beautiful gunmetal grey Moggie!) After the weekend, Mike and Julia drove around all over the Dales, regally waving to admirers - and scaring a few locals with the loud honking horn on the Moggie!
Sheila, Maggie and I went snap-mad and were quite spoilt by the glorious Dales scenery! Up early (as early as 4.00am one morning) to catch the lovely early light - and stayed out till sunset most days! We were quite exhausted!
Spent about four days trying to find the famous Millstones - which are alleged to be scattered all over the moors - but we were singularly unsuccessful, despite close questioning of locals and climbers! However, on the last day we discovered 300 of the little so-and-sos - all neatly stacked just out of view of a main road!
So, all clambering up hill and down dales searching for them kept us fit - although large chunks of Bakewell Tart and other cakes at every opportunity rather defeated all that good work!
Never mind - back to normal again!
