Waterside Barn

A beautiful Friday staging the property for professional photographs and drone footage! 📽

And then the realisation set it, we had to put all of the outdoor furniture and tableware neatly back before the guests arrived an hour later - eeek! 🫣

Safe to say, it's now Prosecco o'clock! 🥂✨️
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend in the sun! ☀️

Soaking up the sunshine ☀️

I nearly didn't post this photo, as it contains a huge pet peeve of mine - I didn't realise it was there until I had put my phone away - can anyone spot it? 🙈

Despite this, the views from the upstairs rooms are even more stunning today in the sunshine. After a wintery start to the year, there has been a setback in the garden blooming, but we are finally there! 🌿🌳🌸

Open the velux window in the Chatsworth bedroom, and you will hear the birds of prey calling above, song birds, and the river running by 🫶 ultimate relaxation 😌

The countdown is on for the 🌸🌺🪻🌼

Volunteers from Tissington Village, including members of Waterside Barn's team, come together to dig the clay, soak the boards, puddle the mud, and decorate the boards before they are proudly displayed across the village! It is a fantastic, historic tradition that is thought to originate from thanking the fresh water source for keeping the plague out of Tissington! 🫣

Discovering the magical world of Lud’s Church 😯🌳 This deep, moss-covered chasm is full of myths and legends ✨

In the 15th century it was used as a secret place for worship and other local legends say Robin Hood and Friar Tuck stayed in the cleft whilst hiding from the authorities 🧝

Close to the Roaches in Leek and Staffordshire’s Back Forest, the 18 metre deep chasm is covered from top to bottom in vibrant moss 🌿
