Set off walking into town in bright winter sun, 40 minutes later the mist rolled in.

I think this is the most unwelcoming door I've found so far on my photography wanders 😲

We just about got our 10,000 steps in by 10am today by having a bit of a photo wander to try the Β£11 Chinon 28mm on the Sony and I'm pretty impressed. Here's some from the skate park in #swadlincote
Dropped by the park on the way home from our morning wander to see of the blossom was still out. #swadlincote #photography #blossom
Seeing someone stuffing their shopping into the space under a coffin in a beat up old hearse in Aldi's car park has restored a little of my faith in humanity. #swadlincote

A few photos from yesterday's local wander.

Given the history of mining in this area (mostly coal and clay) the restored areas are starting to green up.

Visited the local standing stones this morning πŸ˜‰

I believe these were once part of a cable system to move coal/slag around when this was a mining area. #woodville #swadlincote #blackandwhite
