Walkers dust their boots off

Tea Room at Wetton Mill

It's Easter! ... and the start of the getting-out-and-about season.  Walkers have dusted off their boots, extracted the winter mothballs from their jackets, and are heading off into the Great Outdoors once again.

The Tea Room at Wetton Mill opened for the 2016 season last week.

Plenty of sun for 'glass-lands'

Solar panels farm

As we are experiencing something of a heatwave (well, for Britain anyway), the farmers who invested in solar-panel complexes must be thanking the gods of the weather for their good fortune!

I don't dislike these types of installations, which some environmentalists, however, refer to disparagingly as 'glass-lands'.  But, mostly, they seem to be laid out as sensitively as they can be.
And - let's face it - alternative energy sources must be found...

Farmyard main road

Road in the Peak District near Calton

I've seen public rights of way go through the middle of a working farm, and even a public track that bisects a farm - but never come across a main road that does it! 
This road in the Peak District near Calton meanders its way along, so traffic doesn't move fast, but, even so, the farmer can't be too happy... surely?
