in memoriam

 10th March 2021, Warkworth, 8am

A view of the beach from a higher place. There are times in all our lives when we have to leave the security of the sand and wade through choppy waves until we reach the calm water where we can find peace.

This post is dedicated to the memory of Jill Racenis who, alongside her husband Rob,  loved Northumberland and was a regular visitor to this blog when she wasn't here in person.

My attempts at being arty were photobombed by a curious Daisy.

quietly does it.

Very quiet.

It took a while for this morning's atmosphere to sink in so that I could find a photograph this morning.

9th March 2021, Embleton Bay, 1pm

A bit of work took me up to Embleton today so I took the chance for a run along my old stamping grounds.  It was lovely to see the bay after so many months.

We were dodging showers as they passed by out at the horizon

fun and games

 7th March 2021, Rothbury, 9am

The Rothbury moors are full of beautiful nature like these bracket fungus and moss

The dogs had a lot of fun jumping over a ditch.  Even old Daisy got involved...

We were warm but there was snow on distant Cheviot.

The makers of this ancient wall are long forgotten...

happy place

Watching the sunrise from inland for a change.

Meanwhile the spaniels were relaxing after their walk...
