Just to the north of the city of Leicester Bradgate is an 830 acre ancient deer park (800 years old) with streams,rock outcrops,twisted wind battered oak trees and herds of Red and Fallow deer. Also in the park is an old tower which is actually a … Continue reading Out and About – Bradgate Park.

Out and About – Reading Station
Another view of the concourse at the station taken on my camera phone. I wish I could have had more time to photograph the area with fewer people around. It is a large area with the same amount of space on the left outside the frame as there is shown in the photograph. The light … Continue reading Out and About – Reading Station
Out and About – Draycote Water
The weather since the start of the New Year has simply been dreadful – almost constant rain. Although where we are in the midlands, we rarely see the worst of the weather (unlike those poor people on the coast at the moment), the rain has been hammering on windows – driven by gale force winds, … Continue reading Out and About – Draycote Water
Draycote Water – 23 November
I'm ashamed to say, that despite living in the area for my whole life, this day was the first time I had ever been to Draycote Water. A Severn Trent Water reservoir, it is a popular place with those people who have a penchant for 'messing about in boats'. There are also a lot of … Continue reading Draycote Water – 23 November
OUt and About – Chatsworth House
Today saw us driving up the M1 to Chatsworth House. It had been a couple of years since we have been there and if I remember correctly we didn't actually go in the house. The weather was very sunny, but very cold. There was supposed to have been a large bonfire party on the 2nd … Continue reading OUt and About – Chatsworth House
Out and About – Baddesley Clinton
My wife and I decided to take an early stroll at Baddesley Clinton, and also avail ourselves of the delicious breakfast rolls and coffee that they serve there. After we had a walk around this historic house run by the National Trust and a favourite of ours. I took the D800 and took some shots … Continue reading Out and About – Baddesley Clinton
Out and About – Stowe Gardens
I finally felt well enough to get out and drive somewhere on Sunday 26 October. I had been taking elephant strength antibiotics for a week for the infection in my tooth and on the Saturday it felt as though they were doing some good. So my wife and I drove down to Stowe Gardens for … Continue reading Out and About – Stowe Gardens
Out and About – Hatton Locks
There's been a bit of a delay putting this post up as I have been unwell. Sinusitis and an infected tooth have laid me pretty low over the last couple of weeks and so blogging has not been top of my priorities. On Sunday 20th I had been ill for over a week and had … Continue reading Out and About – Hatton Locks
Out and About – Batsford Arboretum
We left Coventry under dark clouds and pouring rain, but once south of Stratford, the weather cleared up and by the time we got to Batsford Arboretum (after a delicious lunch at Prego in Broadway) the sun was out and it was very warm. In October? Go figure! It looks like once again we had … Continue reading Out and About – Batsford Arboretum
Out and About – Photo Hunt at Baddesley Clinton
Today's shoot was a photo hunt organised by the Project13Group, to which I belong. The shoot took place at the National Trust's Baddesley Clinton property. I got there an hour early and treated myself to a delicious lunch in their excellent café. Ten minutes before the start of the hunt, each of us was given … Continue reading Out and About – Photo Hunt at Baddesley Clinton
