With wife and son in tow we headed off to Earl Sterndale for a circuit of the Upper Dove. First stop was in Hollinsclough at the Chapel Tea room www.facebook.com/chapeltearoomshollinsclough/?locale=en_GB who have a wonderful range of homemade cakes, then over Hollins and Chrome Hill.
By the time we'd got to the top of Hollins Hill the weather started to look a bit threatening, and we sheltered by the summit tumulus as showers seemed to pass to both sides of us, but we kept dry and watched the lower part of the Peak District getting a downpour
Portrait of me by my grand daughter from a photo session we had together. I quite liked this one, maybe she is as good behind the camera as she is in front.

Graugänse sind nach den Kanadagänsen die zweitgrößte Gänseart in Europa. Sie werden bis zu 90 cm groß bei einer Flügelspannweite von bis zu 1,80 m. Bei einem Gewicht von bis zu 4 kg fällt der Start aus dem Wasser nicht immer leicht. Die Vögel nehmen regelrecht Anlauf und "laufen" während des Startvorgangs über eine längere Strecke auf dem Wasser.

Greylag geese are the second largest goose species in Europe after Canada geese. They are up to 90 cm tall with a wing span of up to 1.80 m. With a weight of up to 4 kg, the start from the water is not always easy. The birds literally take off and "run" during the launch over a longer distance on the water.
As they love to do, this Peacock was "showing off" its beautiful feathers !! Seen in the Celebration Garden at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, Arcadia CA.
This photo was one of two I purchased off Ebay of the sadly now long gone Saxilby Service Station, in Saxilby, Lincolnshire.
This photo taken across the other side of the Fossdyke canal around 2007.
Sadly the service station closed for good in 2012 and was left abandoned.
The pumps did remain on site for a couple of years after closure with demolition of the site starting in October 2018 and is now a housing development called Parman Court
