Comments are closedWe took advantage of a fine day on Tuesday to enjoy a walk with some colleagues. We set off from Youlgreave and headed to Lathkill Dale. There was a diversion to Over Haddon for some lunch. It’s a picture-book village, with a nice pub and some excellent views over the local area.

Comments are closedWe are rapidly becoming acquainted with the many faces of the Snake Pass. Now that SuperMum has moved to a new care home, it has become a regular journey for us. I had always assumed that the name came from the twisting and turning route followed by the road, but last year we found […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 28th, 2013 Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Derbyshire. Comments are closedTucked away in a quiet corner of Derbyshire is a rather magnificent ancient monument. Arbor Low is a Neolithic henge, consisting of a large earthwork, some 90 metres across, that encloses a circle of limestone blocks. It’s stunning to look at, so it’s no wonder it’s been referred to as ‘the Stonehenge of the […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: September 30th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Derbyshire | Wirksworth Festival 2009. Comments are closedSo little time, so much to do… Time for a sneaky back-post. Ahem. Our final port of call on the trail was one I was particularly looking forward to. I wasn’t disappointed. I’ve watched Niall Young’s pictures take shape on his blog, but seeing them for real, at life-size was infinitely better. Niall was absolutely […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: September 27th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Art | Derbyshire | Wirksworth Festival 2009. Comments are closedSo little time, so much to do… Sometimes we’re spoiled for choice, which was definitely the case a couple of weeks ago: would it be the opening stage of the Tour of Britain that grabbed our attention, or maybe one of many tempting Heritage Open Days? Alternatively it was Art and Architecture weekend at Wirksworth. […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 19th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Derbyshire | My Life. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)We finally made it to see my Mum today, *only* about two and a half weeks late for her birthday, but that’s largely the fault of Mr Snow. We’re very glad he’s finally cleared off, good riddance. Anyway, we set off to Hopton Hall to enjoy a gentle amble around the gardens, open at this […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 3rd, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Beyond Limits 2008 | Derbyshire | Photoblogging. 3 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)And finally: The autumn colours in the gardens at Chatsworth were stunning. The Beyond Limits exhibition couldn’t have had a better backdrop. Obviously, I couldn’t resist taking some photos… There were lots more sculptures that I haven’t shown you. If you’re interested in seeing them, the pictures are here.

Comments are closedThe Good News: Last year, for me, one the highlights of the Beyond Limits exhibition was this piece, Autumn Reflection, by Zadok Ben-David. From a distance it looked like a stylised tree, but on closer inspection we discovered that it was made entirely from small metal figures. So it was good news to discover […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 1st, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Art | Beyond Limits 2008 | Derbyshire | Photoblogging. Comments are closedSome more pictures from Beyond Limits at Chatsworth. Two very different pieces from husband and wife François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne. Pomme de New Yorkby Claude Lalanne This would look lovely in any light, at any time of year, but there was something very fitting about this giant golden windfall amongst all the autumn leaves. Le […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: October 31st, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Art | Beyond Limits 2008 | Derbyshire | Photoblogging. Comments are closedBeyond Limits is Sotheby’s annual selling exhibition of modern and contemporary sculpture and I’m pleased to see that it seems to have become established as an annual event at Chatsworth. The selling aspect of the exhibition targets a very select audience. You know the old saying: if you need to ask how much it is, […] |
