Day 10. Buxton winter wonderland.
Ice encased weeds on a doorstep.

Not saying it’s still cold in Buxton but this was the view from our bathroom window earlier.
Photo of the bathroom window. Stained glass panel from our old house. The top of some toiletries, blue sky and snowy garden with a stonking set of stalactites hanging down.

And now weirdly pink…
Exact same photo minutes later with a proper pink hue.

Fabberama. Heavy snow started in time to cover the ice before I schlep across town to the dentist. 🥶
Photo of snow covered back garden. Looks black and white though is in fact colour. White, white whiteness and falling snow.

Minus 9 degrees forecast tonight. Harsher than the commute home earlier.
Photo from the train of untouched snow on hills. Broken by a drystone wall and single tree. Slate blue sky in contrast.

And, yep it’s still snowing in Buxton. Sid of the snow peaks earlier.
Photo of Sid on the side of what was Lightwood reservoir, looking into the distance. A lone figure on a snowy hillside.

Covering the garden to do list and a new playground for Sid.
Photo of Sid running in thick snow, garden transformed to winter wonderland and silence.

Uncommon beauty when it snows and rains.
Photo of an iced plant up at Lightwood. Like an intricate crystal ornament on long brown reeds.

Baby it’s cold outside…
Photo from the bedroom window looking up to Lightwood. Crispy frost, pinkish sky and rolling cloud over the peaks.

So Sid has developed a festive part 3 to get our attention. i) quietly cry by the back door, ii) bash the front door with his paw, iii) chew a crimbo card from the fireplace. #DogLegend
Photo of Sid in full leap over a sodden flag stoned path on Shining Tor. Mid air, full stretch and wild ears.

Book submission getting close. Scrapped doing the index and calmed by last minute comments/links. 👀👀
Black and white photo of a jotter with scrappy writing timetable counting down to Sunday (deadline 3.1.25… keeping a bit of wriggle room).

And then they were gone. Christmas in a blink.
Black and white photo of trainers/boots littered across the hall floor and passing legs.

Just Sid.
Sid lying on the settee, giant tennis ball under his paint pot paw. Looking mournful. Colourful cushions.

Sid as the sunset over Buxton this afternoon. Peaceful times and here’s to a fresh and hopeful new year.
Photo of Sid sitting and looking at the hill opposite. Beautiful, rich sunset and Buxton lights twinkling in the distance.

Countdown to book submission deadline with some baked in errors.
Photo of scribbled submission work plan, highlighting clear days across the Crimbo break and allocating the 5 (yes 5) chapters/indexing. The notebook is on a similarly randomly filled notebook. Gulp.

Dramatic sky walking home.
Photo of Sid on the lane from Lightwood to Buxton. Large puddles, looming dusk and the palest pink of clouds.

Was going to post about a red-flagged email obsessed senior academic on a Saturday night. Instead, Sid at Solomon’s temple earlier. And breathe...
Photo of Solomon’s Temple above Buxton. Sid heading into the iconic tower in the distance. Distant misty peaks and gathering clouds.

Sid sniffing for pheasants up on Shining Tor.
A photo of a sweep of peaks, patches of sunshine in the distance. Sid standing smelling the air. Beautiful views, low clouds and glimpses of blue sky.

Sunrise over Warwickshire countryside on the train back north.
Photo from train window of golden sunrise, tree silhouettes and a beautiful deep grey sky.

Glorious post-storm commute.
Photo from the train between Chapel and Whaley Bridge. Early morning sun in far peaks with beautiful late Autumn colours.

Not sure Sid has been introduced here. From earlier, after the builders have gone…
Black and white photo of Sid a black scruffy dawg, lying on a blanket on the settee looking sad.

A day of trains, rain and whispering tannoys. And a driver in a taxi hoping to get here by 3pm.
Photo from the rainy train window at Reading station. Lights, an ad and people. Pale blue seating.

That’s so cool. I was a beginner not so long ago. Just love it. 🥰
Photo of van blankets. Thick beast, random granny squares and mosaic versions all in bright colours…

Mind the step. In Wiltshire. 👀
Soaking wet photo from the train. One person on the platform opposite with a pram, signs, alarms and red boxes.
