Really chuffed to see this photo used as the header for the Derby Telegraph Facebook page.

I haven’t been back since, but hope that the car park at Willington is now returned from being part of the river!

 

 

 

 

Willington Bridge

Willington Bridge

This beautiful bridge links Willington to Repton – which might explain why Repton seems (to me) to be a village that time forgot as it wasn’t built until 1839. Before that you had to pay someone to ferry you across the river on a small barge…

 

 

Newton Solney Floods

This photo was published in the Derby Telegraph and shows the floods at Newton Solney.

Right in the centre is a barn with calves, luckily built just high enough not to be flooded.

One last photo from Newton Solney showing the extent of the floods, but so, so beautiful at sunset…
