I foolishly made the choice to head on down to Headstone Tunnel in the Peak District.
It's been a few years since I visited and it seems I'd forgotten how brutal the climb down the steps was on the knees! Each step on the steepest parts has an elevation of about 400 to 500mm. When you're built for comfort like me and on top of that lump you're carrying a backpack weighing 10 kg, it ain't so easy to climb!
So I can safely say that I will never visit this place again. Certainly not loaded down with camera gear!
Little Lyra had all most given up hope on finding Young Arabella for she had looked every where... well all most every where for win in a moment after she was ready to give up she heard Yell out from above her!!
"I got you now! Now we are going to get to the bottom of what you really are," Giggled Young Arabella as she fell on to little Lyra forcing to her the ground.
Oh no she is going to use her scary powers on me," Thought Little Lyra as she found her little body pended down so she could not move. She held her eyes tightly closed because she was to scared to open them and she could feel her little body shaking as little tears formed in her eyes.
"Now now there we go, Look under that mask your just a little pretty girl that's all scared... just like me," Young Arabella said in a soft manner holding Lyra's mask in one hand and wiping away her tears with her other hand.
"But if your scared too than why do you keep going?" asked Little Lyra in a shocked manner as she finely Opened her eyes and looked up to Young Arabella.
"Sure it would be easy and safe to hide under my covers back in my village and stay safe, But if we did that than we would never find the world out side of our door steps, And my Heart tells me I must keep going so no matter how scared I am I must follow it," Young Arabella Explained in a soft manner looking in to Little Lyra's eyes to see if she understood.
"How are you so strong?" asked Little Lyra as she could not understand were all her Loin like power came from.
"Well if you really want to know than come with me," Young Arabella replied in a soft manner as she smiled down at her little new friend.
Will Little Lyra follow Young Arabella in to the unknown world that awaits them?
Or will she run home were it is safe?

And we unintentionally give it to the next person
These Foolish Things by Bryan Ferry
'The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations'
The lyrics for 'These Foolish Things' was written by Eric Maschwitz in 1936. Whilst working in Hollywood, Maschwitz was romantically linked to the actress Anna May Wong, and the lyrics are evocative of his longing for her after his return to England. Billie Holiday's version of the song was a firm favourite of Philip Larkin, who felt the lyrics were pure poetry.
I have always enjoyed this song and wanted to produce an image that contained elements of the song, combined with some of my own special memories. Where better to choose pictures from than the City of Love itself, along with the gateway to there of St. Pancras?
The pictures from the Louvre were all taken on the same evening, such a magical light and atmosphere. The piano images show both St. Pancras and Paris Gare d'Austerlitz.
One year, for our anniversary, we stayed at the station hotel at Gare de Lyon. Originally we were going to have a meal out but ultimately ended up having an anniversary baguette on the platform followed by fizzy apple juice, and lots of laughs to go with it!
Despite the origins of the lyrics, I've always thought the song to be a celebration of happy memories, I hope the pictures show this.

The Gold Creek Falls area in Golden Ears Park has been the scene of a number of deaths therefore signs are posted about the danger. These people don't seem to care. What this picture doesn't show is the big drop off of the falls. If a person gets caught by the current going over the falls, there is little if anything to hold on to. I was with a friend who pointed out that a person seemed to be getting ready to jump into the creek. I just had the time to set up my camera in burst mode.

My awesome owner needed a new profile pic and I agreed. This was one of the three. Pretty happy with how it turned out and how the colors pop.
I actually messed this photo up more times than I got it right. Happy with the end result though. Added in a few personal touches. Love you Miss Josie.

"to what do i owe the pleasure of springs sweet embrace?
with the colors, flowers, beauty and grace.
the sweet scent you bring.
the fury it holds in their wings.
i hope one day, i feel i deserve the vibrancy.
that i don't feel foolish as the love wraps around me.
sweet, sweet spring.
let your vines grow wild, let loose.
be free."
Se non ricordi che l’amore t’abbia mai fatto commettere follie, allora non hai amato.
William Shakespeare
La luna piena è sempre uno spettacolo magnifico... la sua luce ipnotica fa sospirare, anche per il contrasto con il grande buio tutt'attorno.

“Whatever are you guys doing standing on your heads?” Asked Posh as he sat down.
“We’re preparing to go to the moon with Elli in her ellicopter, Posh.” Said Bertie.
“Whyever are you going, she is a menace in that thing?”
“She says she thinks she knows of a honey well close to the marshmallow mines, so we are checking it out.” Said Sky.
“I just think you are incredibly brave, either that or foolish to get in that Ellicopter with her at all. I can understand why you are standing on your heads.” Said Posh shaking his head sadly.
“Last time we were almost ready for her Posh, we kept out seatbelts on so when she decided to turn upside down, we didn’t fall on our heads. Landing though was quite an experience and if hoomans ever go there again they’ll be surprised at the crop circles they find.” Said Bertie.
“Yes, but if you thought that was bad, taking off again was even more scary, for it was being like on an over active fairground ride as the big blade thing stayed still and the rest of the ellicopter whizzed around. We were all a bit dizzy when she finally lifted off the moon surface.” Said Sky.
“I quite ready for her to fly upside down all the way home, she does that sometimes, but I think it is the first time she has done it travelling backwards.” Added Bertie.
“I didn’t know it had a reverse Bertie.” Said Posh.
“No, neither did she but she said it saved looking out of the window to see what was ahead.”
“Are you both sure you want to go? I mean, how about asking Linda Bear to pilot it, she isn’t brilliant but at least she won’t fall asleep during the flight.” Said Posh.
“Elli likes her naps, when she landed outside the house, she almost landed in the neighbour’s pond because she was sound asleep.” Giggled Bertie
“Well, he has been saying for ages he wanted a water feature Bertie.” Said Sky. “I heard him tell the man he wanted one.”
“Is this her last trip before Father Christmas comes?” Asked Posh still shaking his head.
“It depends Posh, she says if she can get the ellicopter repaired in time she might do one more.” Said Bertie.
“Hold on, how is she going to fly there if it is broken?” Asked Posh now looking very concerned.
“It isn’t Posh, she is thinking ahead you see, she normally comes back and it needs repairing so she has borrowed the man’s plastic card thing and booked it in already. She says she has a new one on her list to Santa so this could be the final trip in this ellicopter.”
“I really don’t think anyone should go, at least not with Elli flying and with only half the moon there, I’m sure she’ll miss it altogether.”
“That is always possible Posh, she has done it before but she did have a good excuse last time for as she said the navigation thingy wasn’t working properly. She gave it a kick and it still didn’t work.” Said Bertie.
“What apart from this possible honey well are you going for?” Asked Posh.
“The usual, cheese, marshmallows fresh from the mines, chocolate buttons as she says they have had another bad chocolate button storm there, and as many jars of honey as we can carry.”
“Nothing quite like the creamy chocolate buttons fresh from a chocolate moon-storm, they are very yummy.” Said Posh rubbing his tummy with a paw at the thought of all those chocolate buttons.
“Yes, they always are eaten first, often there is none left by the time we get back Posh. Shame you’ll miss out.”
“Hold on, I haven’t said I’m not coming yet. I didn’t know about the fresh chocolate before, and well, it might be worth risking the flight just so you have someone responsible there to look after you guys.” Said Posh who was now licking his lips.
“Make way, Posh is going downside up to get used to Elli’s flying.” Said Sky laughing.

Ok there are several things that everyday me never does. One of which is depicted in this here video (and boy is it obvious) Not sure if it's a side effect of this particular dress, or if I was just in a silly mood. I had some music on and thusly decided to do what passes as my attempt at dancing. Very much out of character for me, but seems like a good way to finish the week off. I'm off on my travels at the weekend so probably won't be around much for the next week or so. I shall see you all on the other side. Kisses Francesca.
