Spectacular Scenery

The days are lengthening and it is lovely to wake up and hear the birds singing. I have been busy making some more pottery this week and hope to get back to my gardens next week.

On Thursday I had a trip to Northumberland. I travelled there via Hartside.

There is still a lot of snow left from last weekends deluge. Not a lot of snow fell in the Eden Valley or at Alston but mainly on Hartside. 
Snow cleared from the road by the snow plough

The journey from the Cumbrian border into Northumberland is beautiful. There are many stunning vistas. This is Langley castle.
Very grand, a wedding venue

A willow deer that is now turning green.
Oh deer

Looking back to Alston from Hartside summit.
The bleakness has its own beauty

An abandoned house on the Alston Hartside road.
What a view from the windows


Looking across to the back of Cross Fell.
Browns and beige

Looking over towards the back of Cross Fell.
Can you see the river in the bottom of the valley?

A typical rural view in Cumbria.
Pastoral beauty

A very old sign on the Gloucester Arms in Penrith.
This pub has recently been restored
