A slow drive through the Peak District on a bright December day was just what the doctor ordered yesterday and I stopped a few times to take pics… Leash Fen is just inside the eastern border of the National Park and an area I’ve never really explored before but I’m planning a return visit as soon as possible.

An image from one of my first colour rolls developed by Analogue Wonderland’s new ‘Wonderlab’

They certainly won’t be the last rolls I send them though… lovely clean negatives (albeit sleeved in strips of four, I prefer strips of six) and excellent scans make me a very happy bunny!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Fifteen years ago it was local rock band Fat Stan, playing a pre-Christmas gig at a local pub (the Dog & Doublet in Pye Bridge if memory serves me…)

Sadly neither band nor pub are still going but more pics of the former can be found here.

Monochrome Monday… Hook

This hook is one of a number of features retained by a local building that used to be a pub called ‘The Generous Briton’. I’m assuming it was used to lower barrels into the cellar.

The pub closed years ago but the building also has (a very faded) sign and a skittle alley in the yard…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Three years ago it was multi-period all-round entertainer Colin Bourdiec at the Bridge Inn in Cotmanhay, Derbyshire.

It was an incredibly entertaining evening with the highlights being Colin’s English/German version of “The Lambeth Walk” and the impromptu audience participation on “Run Rabbit Run” (something Rachel and I still wonder about… don’t ask!)

An image from a stroll along the Trent & Mersey Canal with my partner in (photographic) crime Rachel back in August.

I liked the contrast between the harsh lines of the electricity pylons and the softer lines of the reeds and their reflection…
