Snowy Peak District
I'm in Buxton Pavilion Gardens running Gallery in the Gardens all day. After 6 days at the Ideal Home show in Earls Court in London and 5 at the NEC immediately before that it was good to get out walking the hills for a change.
What a day we have here in the Peaks! Wall to wall sunshine with a dusting of snow on the tops. Lots of ice though so a bit slippery. It's a 6 mile walk over the hills to get here but I grabbed a few shots on my Samsung S3 phone and edited them to black and white using the editor in Google+ photos on my Nexus 10.
I had intended to take more photos of London during and after the show but decided it was too much for my bad back so we've decided to go down after Christmas, weather permitting. Shame though as we had 4 good days which would have been great for photos. We did manage to walk in and out to the show for the first 4 days, 3 miles each way but the only greenery we found was walking through Brompton Cemetery, a large green space just south of Earls Court. No peaks though!

Buxton Artist and Designer's Fair Today
We are exhibiting at the Artist and Designer's Fair in Buxton Pavilion Gardens. Nearly 50 top quality exhibitors, and it's a lovely warm, sunny day.
The show ends at 4.30pm today, Sunday 30th June, so still plenty of time to come and visit us. New Buxton photos on show too including the Opera House at night and Broad Walk from both ends. Also a new Bamburgh Castle image. Several new 1metre panorama's too.

Last Day of Buxton Easter Fair and Book Signing Today
Jan will be running our stand on her own while I continue signing books in the Tourist Information Centre area, near the Gallery in the Gardens. The show opens at 10am and ends at 5pm. The weather has been great, albeit a bit cold. Still snow on the ground but all roads are clear. Hope to see you there!
I finally remembered to take a picture of the stand on our little Lumix DMC-FX550 digital camera and here it is. It's a few years old but still takes pretty good quality images.

Buxton Gallery in the Gardens New Display
Locations now include Rome, London, Oxford and Paris as well as some local ones.
I forgot to photograph the display but here are a couple of the images, you'll just have to imagine what the narrow black frames and white mounts look like!
By the way, I will be doing a City Light book signing in the Buxton Tourist Information Centre on Easter Saturday.
