Early Morning on the River Derwent, Derby
The snow, what little there was, has all gone and a bright sunny morning was just what the Rowing Club ordered for their winter training routine. Water levels normal and no breeze helped speed them along the water.
I think most of us heaved a sigh of relief that the dire warnings of wintery weather did not live up to those predictions….even the high winds had caused no damage to the woodlands. Just a calm day, warm for January and still plenty of colour…

It was though much too early for any takers of the riverside bench…

and it will be a few months yet before the Cricket Field is back in action…

All in all….not a bad winters day for mid January
14th January
