I enjoyed reconnecting to the place I grew up in. The Derbyshire Peak District. on May Day. Even though I have now lived away from this beautiful place for more years than I lived there, I still consider it home.
We had a wonderful Lunch at an old haunt of ours called the Barrel Inn..
This old pub is dated from 1597, it often gets cut off in the snow pictures Here And I would roam the hills as a child with no thoughts of the dangers as there are today. Below is a poem I wrote a while ago, but I thought it went well with the photo’s I have taken recently.. I hope you enjoy..
Peace it the place I dwell..
Up in the mountains… casting a spell
Of tranquil bliss, where Eagles soar
Away from man’s roar..
Peace is the heart of natures Bliss
A rivers tears and dewdrop kiss
A leaf that floats across the sky
The smell of Earth, I ask her why
I feel her lonely heartbeat score…
I close my eyes……I feel Peace.. And More…
Peace is the quiet breath in early morn
When one opens your eyes to early dawn
When shadows no longer hold the dark
But when Peace is filled in Dawns red Heart..
Listen to the song of early light
When birds rise bringing their delight
Into a Day they worry not how to survive
But they Sing their joy as on wings they dive
Peace is the closed eyelids of a babies sleep
A mother’s love in whose arms she keeps
them tight and safe within slumbered dreams
I close my eyes…. I feel Peace … And More….
Peace is the sweep of artists brush
As colours create the mountain hush
As clouds roll by on heavens sky
Peace is the shooting star that falls from high
But the best of these is as you close your eyes
As you hear the silence of your inward sighs
Listen now to the Peace within
as your mind is emptied of cutter and din
For I close my eyes ….
I feel Peace….
And More……………………..

Yes this place and the surrounding villages are embedded firmly into my heart Linda.. I would like one day to return to live, but the properties are so expensive.. That is why we had to move when we first got married.. Not enough homes and far too expensive.. Many cottages now being bought up by the elite for holiday second homes.. Sad.. For at one time I could name every single person and family in our village.. Now they are full of strangers who many only come at weekends.. .. Thank you about my painting, this too is in Derbyshire.. I did it from a postcard I bought.

Bless you Brad.. Yes I grew up a country bumpkin I am sure.. learning early on from my Granddad and Father how to grow our own food, and foraging for wild berries, nuts, and mushrooms… Our main meal of the week would be rabbit which my dad would catch.. ( I couldn’t eat a rabbit today ) but without that times were pretty lean for a family of 7. We were never indoors.. always outside. Helping the local farmer, Dad would also do stone walling in his spare time away from the Limestone Quarry.. Many thanks Brad for you lovely comment.. 🙂

Thank you Dalo.. Painting was a life saver for me in the 90’s when I had a nervous breakdown.. By concentrating upon my art again during that time.. When I couldn’t keep a limb still.. due to my nerves being shot.. It calmed me, took me to another place.. And so even now when I feel stress getting too much as I take on board too much of the world.. I retreat back to my canvas and paints.. and just absorb once again that ‘Peace’ which with each brush stroke calms from the inside out. 🙂
