Dreich

 
Yesterday was lovely.



I drove to England and had a brisk walk around the castle by the sea.



Preceded by an invigorating hike up one of the smaller Cheviots.



And a stop at a wide place in the road to look at vistas.

But today?  It is cold and gusty and grey and pelty-rainy, and I am hunkered down at home drinking rose tea and eating toast.  Which is its own kind of lovely, I suppose.

  1. I want to be walking those routes with you. What would it take for me to sell all I have and join you??? But don't I have to prove that I would be employable? Ah....that's the rub!

  3. Just the names of these places stirs up longing! Who wouldn't want to see Castle By the Sea?

  4. Each day brings it's on highlights. But a day which features a castle is pretty impressive!

  5. I was there on Friday. It was a wee bit grey and misty but very atmospheric.

  6. Hi Lizzi -- Bamburgh or the Cheviots? I'm guessing that you're referring to the former. I have yet to go inside, but I look forward to doing so. Thank you for visiting!

  7. It was Bamburgh - but I was in the Cheviots the week before. (I get around!). I was in Coldstream on Thursday and visited the new gallery. Very smart.

    1. I love that gallery. Haven't been since it reopened for springtime, though. I also like the Number Four Gallery in St Abbs. Have you been there?

Hiya, and welcome! I know that with the proliferation of social media, it's not like the olden days of blogging, when we all spent loads of time hanging out in each other's comment boxes. And I know it's a drag to type anything more than a quick sentence on a smart phone. So THANK YOU for taking the time to say something here (and for visiting in the first place). I will always respond to you directly via email, if you supply an address.
