The View from Pine Clouds Part 2

 From the end of my drive I can see Black Rocks. I’m often struck by how my neighbours at Botany Bay, as it is called, are dwarfed by the rocks and by the trees behind them. This is the moon and stars above Black Rocks and Botany Bay.

The treeline below Black Rocks often looks spectacular and lends itself to Black and White photography (my default).

Another neighbour’s house against the trees in winter.

And this is Pine Clouds itself looking suitably gloomy though colour photos of the house do exist!

At Wirksworth Book Fair

Met some very interesting people today at the Wirksworth Book Fair. I’ve not tried marketing my book Daughters of Derby this way before and it’s quite a strain, psychologically speaking, to put yourself out in public this way. It’s a great pleasure though to meet strangers who are good enough to take a chance on your book and to sign copies for them.

I was particularly pleased to meet another local author Emma Woodcock and I can highly recommend her blog Adventures in indie publishing.
