Yearning for the homeland...

Still (just about) holding it together. Still stupidly busy. Hope all's well with you all.

I'm feeling horribly homesick for the North East and especially Northumberland, for which I blame jamalov29. So I've been looking at pictures...












Dunstanburg Castle and Embleton Beach. A childhood haunt, and one I still dearly love.




And Bamburgh... twee, but beautiful in the right light, and we get a lot of good light up there...




Hadrian's Wall. Many a soggy school trip spent there, but get it on a good day, when the clouds are scudding and the wind is ripping through your hair and the curlews are crying and there's no place on earth like it.




And this is the Tyne Valley. Beautiful and still pretty much undiscovered.




And the moors.. space... silence... solitude...

Damn, I need a break.
