The Buxton International Festival
takes place in July - of
course this event (and The G & S Festival afterwards) brings great prestige for our town, and pleasure to many people, but
crucially (in my opinion) brings visitors and trade to the town for shops,
hotels and much more - that is good for the wealth and prosperity of Buxton Town
- hope you agree! The Buxton International Festival would like to see more
local people at events - and there is a wealth of things taking place - please
take a look at program details by clicking
here - I am sure there will be
something you might like to see!

The Pigeon Chick has flown the nest!
BUT.......................
TUESDAY 8th June - Chicks have started hatching after 10
or 11 days! - For Dated Pictures Click on the Thumbnails here:
Wednesday
16th June update - no bird in nest overnight! - panic sets in and plans made to
start digging worms up - relief this morning as both birds are back feeding -
Phew!
-No blue tits for us this year but two of our neighbours have nests with chicks -
HOWEVER ............we have six or seven bird boxes - despite all that choice, a
blackbird has built a nest in a large black bucket lying on its side just 3 feet
off the ground! - managed to sneak a camera into the mouth of the bucket - dare
not place it right inside for fear of disturbance, so although you may view the
nest and the bird, you can only just about see the five blue speckled eggs which
I have reached in and photographed while the bird was out feeding - as you can
see! CLICK HERE TO WATCH LIVE "BLACKBUCKETCAM"!

Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
........... Tuesday 22 Jun - Thursday 1 Jul
Unsettled conditions are likely to continue at the start of this period, with a
mixture of sunny spells and scattered heavy showers, and a risk of thunder and
perhaps hail. Longer spells of rain are also possible in the north and west.
Atlantic air then looks likely to spread across the country from the west
through the week, bringing a change to cooler and more changeable conditions.
This will likely bring spells of rain or showers interspersed with periods of
dry weather and sunny spells. The driest and brightest conditions are likely in
the southeast, though further showers or thunderstorms are possible here.
Temperatures are likely to recover to near normal by the end of the month.
Friday 2 Jul - Friday 16 Jul
Confidence is low through this period due to mixed and weak signals, but models
suggest that usual summertime conditions are most probable. We are likely to see
periods of dry, settled and warm weather interspersed with occasional days of
thicker cloud, rain and stronger winds. Temperatures are likely to be close to
average nationally. Southeastern areas may see some warm or very warm conditions
at times, but these probably balanced out by cooler interludes moving in from
the west. Overall, rainfall accumulations are expected to be close to average
for the time of the year. Whilst southeastern areas may see fewer spells of
persistent rain, thunderstorms may develop during warmer periods ..................................
