Pottering in Northumbria

How is it the end of April already? Just where does the time go? 

After my energetic cycling escapades, we escaped off up to Northumbria for a bit of a sit down in a house free of paint tins and wood. Our house was cheery and calm and surrounded by a small flock of sheep, who nestled down to sleep each in the shelter of our wall.

We spent a lot of time just sitting in the house.

We also spent a lot of time pottering around market towns and tea shops, and one day found ourselves in the centre of Britain, where we found the Centre of Britain Sweet Shop, Centre of Britain Post Office, and Centre of Britain Launderette.

We wandered along Hadrian's Wall for a while too, and pottered about the surrounding countryside.

I could have happily settled in and stayed in our holiday cottage for a few more weeks, but real life intervened and we had to come home. Still, as my mum always used to say when we were young and complaining about the end of our holidays, if you don't go home, you can't come back again.

Hadrian's Wall, how cool!! I'm a big history nerd. Great shots of the waterfall and the lambs. And I love how you travel---so much lovely tea and cake! Thanks for taking me out of my everyday life there for a moment.
