Every day is a school day

A late afternoon wander around Calke, we were treated to these wonderous lights, while others queued for the incandescent ones around the house.

Avoiding the hordes brought us upon a few bat boxes, fixed around 12 inches above the ground. For injured bats on crutches perhaps? No! Dormouse boxes, it’s a SSSI site for them and this is to encourage them to nest. Wonderful! As was the sunset also!
