This is definitely a Friday photo!
This afternoon I have been configuring an Android tablet and as I was leaving the client I passed this – it had to be a Friday photo.

The Bell at Coleby
This morning I was at The Bell at Coleby helping them get to grips with some software they are using.
Their beer garden has a great selection of very photographic objects, making it easier for me to find a photo of the day.
This photograph was taken with the latest version of Camera+, cropped in the app’s Lightbox and then the light was lifted with the Clarify filter.

A few rain drops
As I was leaving a client today, the rain was just starting and I caught just a few on this before it became a deluge.
Note
I updated the WordPress app on my iPhone (in readiness for iOS7) – however someone forgot to include a “Done” button when adding categories to a post. So to get back to editing my post I had to close the app and then reopen it. So WordPress either needs to let me know the secret way to get back to the editor or put the button back.
More Peak District
We got the tents down this morning and managed to eat our breakfast outside before the rain came along.
Today’s plan was to get some photos and a coffee before heading home. We got the tea, coffee and Derbyshire Oatcakes with bacon at Stocks Cafe, Chapel-en-le-Frith. I’d recommend a visit there to anyone.
Why Stocks Cafe? Here is the answer.
We moved on from there to Blue John Cavern and Edale.
There was a living roof on the Visitor Centre in Edale.
The Kinder Trespass started from Edale in 1932.

From near Blue John Cavern
This morning we left the car in the car park for Blue John Cavern and walked a short way to find a great spot to get some photos from.

Peak District
As the weather was not great, rather than walk in the hills we thought we would go to Bakewell and follow a short section of a walk Diana had sent me. She had watched a television program where Tony Robinson had been walking in the Peak District and exploring the history of the area. Diana had sent me a PDF, she had got from the show website – so we had a plan.
First stop was Bakewell.
We fled from the tourists and walked up to All Saints Church – where we had an excellent tea and home made cake. (Well Richard had coffee!)
Ratatosk – from the Anglo-Saxon Cross in the churchyard.
Then we moved onto Ashford-in-the-Water – where like Branston there is a Sheepwash.
Sheepwash Bridge
Following lunch by the river we walked up to the Magpie Mine – but using mainly footpaths rather than the suggested road route.

Back at the campsite the evening was nice enough to cook and eat outside.
