Calm Before The Storm. 13°C with rain approaching. Geese

If you're feeling the worries and noise of the world at the moment, I'm sending you this beautiful walk among the chestnut trees, the pale sun flickering through the leaves and falling in pools of light on the ground. The river is sparkling at the end of the lane, and all around the birds are singing out into the morning as the mist clears. I hope it brings a little Peak District calm to your day. 📍 Peak District, England

Into The Wood. 11°C after a wet night. Squirrels.

A Wet Afternoon In North Yorkshire. 12°C. Pheasants.

It's such a special moment when the light first hits. Standing in the early pre-dawn silence, you watch the sky get fractionally paler and paler, until the sun suddenly breaks cover over the hills with a sharp flash and runs down the slopes into the valley, bringing brightness to the trees and the river and the path ahead. It never gets old. 📍 Peak District, England

Newt Pond, Eric Ravilious, 1932. Depicting a scene at Great Bardfield in #Essex. After being sold to a private collection at @ChristiesInc some years ago, the artwork is now on loan to @TownerGallery.

The Rector's Orchard, 1896 Joaquín Mir Trinxet  1873 - 1940

Over The Gate. 13°C and a gentle Sunday. Geese overhead.

This quiet lane is one of my favourites. It's where I retreat to when I need a peaceful hour to walk my dog, to crunch through the leaves, to listen to nothing more than birdsong and the deer in the undergrowth. It's the lane where I always hear my first cuckoos in spring, see the foxgloves shine in summer, watch the leaves tip over from green to gold in autumn, and where the silence piles up on top of the deep snow in winter. I hope you can all find a lane like this somewhere, wherever you are in the world, and I hope it always brings you a little calm. 📍 Peak District, England

Clear Skies. 16°C after an early shower. Squirrels

The villages of the #peakdistrict always stop me in my tracks when I see them dreaming on quiet mornings. All was peaceful on the lanes as I watched this scene, the early sun brushing the trees, turning them to gold here and there, and the mist still lazily drifting across the fields. Even the old gate looked like it needed to stretch and wake up.

In den Dolomiten, 1870s Edward Theodore Compton 1849-1921

Sunset from the Roaches, in the Staffordshire part of the Peak District.

These are the in-between days, the cusp of seasons. Autumn is sidling through the branches and hedgerows, daily brushing more of her bronze and gold into the green. Every falling leaf, every misty morning, ushers summer a little further along the lane. 📍 Peak District, England

Newhaven Harbour, Eric Ravilious, 1935. It depicts the harbour lighthouse in this famous East #Sussex port, much beloved by Ravilious. The original artwork is in a private collection.

A Watery Sun. 16°C . Apples.
