I thought I was the only person to have an orange vehicle! The little octagonal house looks so cute. I always thought the pub at the top on the way to Buxton was the highest in England! Can't remember its name now, how stupid of me, but I'm sure you'll know it.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800917080090010655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-15414505764874178012009-03-26T04:08:00.000-07:002009-03-26T04:08:00.000-07:00To everyone - thanks for the comments - glad you l...To everyone - thanks for the comments - glad you liked the photos.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-3463265269088464262009-03-26T04:07:00.000-07:002009-03-26T04:07:00.000-07:00Bob - they did get well and truly stuck on their w...Bob - they did get well and truly stuck on their way to get some provisions during this last winter - and had to be rescued by helicopter.

To answer The-Grizzled-But-Still-Incorrigible-Scribe-Himself I can tell you even in July it can be a desperate place. It was like summer when I arrived and like winter when I left. That snow cat thing that they have always amuses me because getting snowed in at a pub seems like getting stuck in heaven - why would you want to leave?

I love the look of the Gunpowder House. I took your advice and looked at Saskia's website and am in awe of her amazing work. No wonder she has won so many prestigious awards, and her use of colour is enviable. I shall visit again and hope some of her skill rubs off!
