Some nice weather at last then..
As we are still on hols we've just been going out for days around northumberland. Drove up to Ford and Etal which is off the coldstream road 'cornhill-on-tweed', we go there a couple of times a year as we buy most of our plants from a nursery in etal run by a scottish couple. Both ford and etal are lovely villages, and etal has the only thatched pub in northumberland. Of course the Heatherslaw 15" gauge steam railway is always an attraction for the hubby as it runs from heatherslaw to etal every hour. Plus theres always Ford Moss Nature Reserve (Grid Ref. is NT 963 376) always worth a visit too. A good day out...
