Tea Time

Sunday tea, courtesy of Danielle. Tasted as good as it looked.

 

House Guests

Mark and Mandy came up for the weekend. We went to Skosh for lunch on the Saturday and had (as ever) a great meal and a great time.

 

Stroll 82 pt2

Layla cooling down in a lovely pool on Newbrough Burn, a tributary of the South Tyne. So we have crossed the line from becks to burns: Scotland looms.

 

Spot the Bug

Taking the dog a walk there is always something to catch your eye. Like this ladybird in the flowers.

 

Budapest

Rowan found this old picture from when we went to Budapest, an incredible nine years ago. I can't believe how time has passed so quickly.

 

Stroll 82 Hexham to Haydon Bridge

 

This magnificent bridge over the Tyne is Hexham was built in 1793 after three failed attempts. I headed west up the South Tyne valley for a varied walk along the river, then high up to the north before dropping down to Haydon Bridge.

Lit & Phil 2

After a while my gaze turned up to the ceiling, with these amazing skylights. It felt like a giant owl was looking down on me.
