There is a very famous trompe l'oiel in the music room at Chatsworth of a violin hanging on a door. During the Christmas season (yes it's been going a couple of weeks already) isn't accessible to the public so this replica is on the ground floor. The girl is a mannequin dressed as a young girl from a century or so back.
This evening it's the tech rehearsal for the Lady Manners School production of Fiddler on the Roof. The show runs from Wednesday to Saturday next week. I am playing the bass in the band. This is some of my music!
I went to Derwent Treescapes in Matlock to get some kindling. This brace of pheasants was hanging outside the office door!
This is our rubber duck. It's huge - bigger than an adult human head! We got it at Magna in Rotherham when our youngest fell in love with one in the Water Pavillion!
I've spent the day in London with students from Lady Manners School: Natural History Museum, Harrod's, V&A and Science Museum. This evening we're at the Royal Albert Hall for the Schools Prom and to support the Lady Manners School Folk Group who are performing.
I got home from work and Tracy had been doing some baking with Martha.
We went to Carsington Water this morning.
Lovely sunshine. Mostly peaceful and quiet.
Olivia decorating some chocolate apples for Bonfire Night!
I used a new app only iPhone to take this chalked effect: Camera Illusion. Lots of fun!
As part of a project at his Junior School Elliot had to dress up as a Dad from World War Two today.....

I went with the Creative & Media Doploma students at Lady Manners School to Peak FM to be shown around the studio and to record an advert.
I thought this shadow was unusual and interesting!
Today is Halloween.....
