Distant beauty calling forth

Absolutely enchanting, Sue. That’s exactly how I’d feel if I was there. And what a wonderful photo – is it anywhere local? I have a yearning to go there with your words in my mind… 🙂

Thanks, Ali, the picture was taken above Curbar in Derbyshire, when the heather was in bloom.

Ah yes, I guess it’s the heather that gives it away. Still, Derbyshire isn’t too far – but your wonderful words and picture have made me want to be somewhere like that. I feel the hills and the woods calling… 🙂

There are always the bluebells this time of year. The woods on the road between Ivinghoe beacon and the ashridge estate visitor centre are incredible for that.

Oh yes, we were only in that area a few weeks ago, but it was before the bluebells came out. It’s lovely out that way, and around Dunstable Downs. We’ve just discovered Shabbington Woods near Long Crendon as well, and there’s a lot of bluebells there too just now. It’s a big remnant of Bernwood Forest, and very characteristic of a medieval hunting ground. Worth a wander if you’re ever out that way. 🙂

I live out that way…Waddesdon is not far from there 🙂

Oh yes, of course it is! I never think of the geography linking up that way, being over Buckingham and Bicester direction. We took a rabbit over to Tiggywinkles the other week and ended up doing some of the Wychert way from Haddenham. It was lovely. 🙂

Haddenham is such a pretty village 🙂

It is indeed. We got talking to a lovely lady who feeds the ducks on the village pond. No wonder they use the place as a location in Midsomer Murders! Luckily, the real Haddenham doesn’t seem to have much of a a homicide count. 😉

Not so much, thankfully, though it has its stories… and the Bone House 😉

Decorated with sheeps knuckle bones to make hearts and pattersn…and with skulls and crossbones, for some reason. Very odd.

Wow – that is strange, and grim, but so intriguing. And skull and crossbones? I’ll have to tell my daughter, she’s fascinated by pirates and tall ships, and she wants to be a maritime historian. Don’t suppose you know where this macabre house is in the village?
