Chatsworth House membership
I live only about 6 miles from Chatsworth House, the grand stately home with the gold windows. You could say the Devonshire’s were my neighbours down the road, lol. A Chatsworth friends member for many years, apart from last year. Which I did miss, not having the membership card, so I’ve just renewed it. Chatsworth style the membership is not that cheap but you get what you pay for in this life. I must do a blog post about the membership benefits.
The post is mainly to tell you that I have a TikTok account which I set up for photography. But now I have the Chatsworth membership card. The TikTok account seem’s to be all about my walks and outings at Chatsworth. Click the button below to the TikTok account. I also have a blog post dog friendly day’s out at Chatsworth here >

- The Pets Section
- Natural World
- Open
I was awarded 3 Bronze awards, 1 Bronze in each category and 6 classified. Classified is not an award but is classed as professional standard which is good.

New desk
18th January
I’ve upcycled an old dressing table and turned it into my new desk for editing photo’s. When you are thinking of getting a new desk if you have an iMac or a computer of similar size to an iMac for editing. Take into account that they weigh a fair bit and I have found that my desk’s start to warp and my mouse then doesn’t work. I’ll see how this dressing table holds up!! It looks good though you can see the YouTube video here >
Landscape photography
15th January
A Sunday drive out to the see the overflow at Ladybower Reservoir locally known as ‘The Plug holes’. It’s been a long time since I had been to the plug holes and a long time since they were overflowing after the hot summer. Cold and busy there was an understatement, but we still managed to get a parking space on the main road next to the dam. There is a car park close by too if you are wanting to go and see them. I have a TikTok video of the overflow here >

Dog breeder puppy photo shoot
4th January
A great start to New Year dog photography wise. Dog breeder photo shoot with 8, 8 week old Australian Shepherd puppies and all the dog relatives. I took the usual outdoor litter shots, breeder head and standing shots. But I also took my studio dog photography kit mobile!! It’s amazing what shots you take with a small roll of photography background paper in someone’s living room lol. We got the shots.
