Thank you David G for these photos, sent in with the caption “It’s party time, the FUN GUYS are out“.

(Editor’s Note: David can certainly give Colin S, the Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire punner of the year 1986-2003, a run for his money. The Blog Team would strongly discourage the non-culinary use of either punning or fungi to enhance your party.)

For those of us not jetting off to exotic destinations this August, our roving photographer John F-S has some ideas for places outside our immediate area that you might like to visit or revisit. Firstly, we have ‘Lathkill Dale on a hot, sunny August afternoon’, and tomorrow he travels even further afield.

Field Barns
Posted in 2013, Environment, Farming, History, Photography, Posts of Note on Sunday August 11, 2013| 3 Comments »
Field barns are an important feature of the White Peak landscape that surrounds our villages. As patterns of land holdings have changed (the village farm houses serving scattered fields are now gone, replaced by larger farms with houses and farm buildings on the land being farmed) and farming methods have improved, these fine buildings have become redundant, with many falling into disrepair. Here are some of the field barns that can be seen around Parwich Hill (just these local photos by Peter T):
A new book entitled “Field Barns of the Peak District” by Sheila Haines celebrates these buildings and challenges us to find new uses for them before they are irreparable ruins. Parwich.org would welcome any further photographs of the barns in our local parishes, perhaps to created a gazetteer and photographic record of those in Parwich, Eaton & Alsop and Ballidon.

A visit from a blue tit

As John FS’s reputation as the paparazzi of the ‘bird world’ grows, would-be celebrities are unabashed in their attempts to get in front of his camera. (I blame ‘Big Brother’ myself.)

Puzzled?
Posted in Gardens, Photography on Thursday July 25, 2013| 6 Comments »
Puzzled – can anyone enlighten me?
I came across a couple of, what I presume are, clusters of eggs in the garden soil and wondered what these are?
Click on image to enlarge
The size of the round (eggs) is approx. 1 – 3 mm, the diameter of the cylindrical cluster is approx. 15-20 mm, the colours are yellow (pale mustard) with a few blue (almost cobalt).
They look like sections of baby sweetcorn without the central core.I am intrigued to know what this is – can anyone tell me?
